A Holy Experience

Yesterday was a pretty cool day. We went to Caesera Phillipi, Banias Falls and the Golden Heights. The Banias falls were so beautiful. Could not help but appreciate the beauty and wonder of God's creation. The next place was Ceasera Phillipi. this has major theological implications, because this is where Jesus asked his disciples "Whom do men say that I am?" It is also the home of the temple to the greek god Pan. It also is one of the sources for the Jordan River. i got some Jordan River water, because I am not sure if I am going to be able to get baptized in the water. Last stop was at the Golden Heights, the border between Israel and Syria. there is a major rift between these two countries over land. many have lost there lives. made me appreciate freedom more. Dinner was ok last night, I am just tired of eating stuff that i have no idea what it is. Spent some quality time with some on the trip. We have a unique blend of personalities and cultures on this trip. I am the only African American and that can be different. I really came on this trip for a Worship Experience, not to sight see. Some have there on agenda. i really embraced the fact that I was getting away from everything. That means that sometimes I like to get in my own world. I am moody enough without everyone invading your space. I did not come to impress anyone, just to get closer in my spiritual journey with God. A misunderstanding yesterday really got to me and i wanted to lay my religion down, but I was told it was not worth it. Well, just pray for a brotha. Today is a free day (Sabbath). I slept late and went to McDonalds by the Sea of Galilee. they are everywhere. i am about to go to the pool. i have some work to finish 2nite. We are packing up 2nite and after having service at the Mt. of Beautitudes, we are making our way to Jerusalem. I am so excited. Hopefully there i can experience more and get some shopping in. Everybody and there momma want something, but it is funny, nobody gave me any money to get anything with. Go figure. until Next Time, RevCEGJr
