Holy Land escapades

You can feel the city of Jerusalem alive. The constant murmuring of different tongues. The sounds of distant church bells ringing. The shop owners at the bazaars shouting for your attention. One amazing moment during the trip so far was being in the St. Anna church by the the pool of Bethsheda. The church is known for it's amazing acoustics. What really hit me hard, in a good way of course, was when different groups of people came into the church and started singing worship songs in both their own language and also in English. I sat and sang with them in English as they sung in their own tongue. It was my brothers and sisters from around the world singing together in Jerusalem. If we could see heaven on Earth it would be this experience I had. Then a Christian Muslim man stood up, told us the lyrics he was about to sing and sang the song solo in Arabic. It was so moving. The best part of it was that over the loud speaker outside was another Muslim announcing the daily prayer for Islam but as the Christian Muslim sung it would completely drown out the loud speaker and all you could hear was the Christian Muslim's song to God. Anyways, below is a picture of two weary but excited travelers with their most favorite and trusty Israeli guide.
