Sojourn to the Holy Land




“A man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints” ~Wilfred Peterson

Sanctuary of Our lady of Fatima


 Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes

Nearly a year ago we were on pilgrimage to Portugal, Spain and Lourdes.  I didn't think I could be more excited about a trip than I was for that one, but I was wrong.  I'm really excited about this sojourn.

I'm nearly organized.  Getting things together I want to be sure we take with us.  You know, the passport, tickets, tour book, lenten reading and, of course, the knitting.  These are LONG flights and this is a way to relax.  Then, our kids surprised  us with the most beautiful prayer shawl and yarmulke for our trip to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.  Oh my, yes I am excited.

Thanks be to God!

    What an exciting trip to embark upon. You'll see so many sites that you've read about in the Bible. Everyone I know who has been to the Holy Land has returned with great things to say about it.

    What a wonderful trip to take during Lent - I think I would probably be more emotional than I could handle ... take tissues!

    P.S. Thanks for adding me to your blog roll!
