Israel

One thing I want to do before I die is visit Israel. And by visit, I mean spend quality time there, getting to know the area where Jesus lived and where He spoke, and where He loved people. I think that would be so neat. To visit Jerusalem, and see where He spoke in the Temple, to go to Him outside the camp - literally - and to visit Bethlehem, and to see Nazareth, and Cana, and the Jordan River. To soak it all in. To meditate, to pray, to read the Word. In that area - to love people in that area. Just to experience the culture there. The same culture Jesus lived in, which, granted, has changed, but which retains a lot of the heritage that Jesus experienced. I just want to grow closer to Him.
