I'm thinking alot about Jerusalem today. My pastor, Bruce Metcalf, and his wife, Kris, have been there for the past five weeks studying as part of his sabbatical, and I have been VERY jealous of them! They have even been living inside the Old City itself! My old neighborhood... I have been emailing back and forth with a number of friends and co-workers from "Bridges," and two nights ago I chatted with Larry and Mary Bennett, who are home from Uganda and at their place in Montana. Today I read "Jerusalem Dispatch" as I ate my lunch, and I just viewed a DVD about the school for Messianic children, Mekor Hatikva.

And so my heart is turned toward the Holy Land, and the Holy City itself. I am missing it very much. When can I return?

Psalm 122

Shalom!

Daniel (J.)
