What will be the reality of this trip?
Holy Land Travels by Stephoni
Hmm... A trip to the Holy Land. When I tell people I am going the reactions are varied. Is it safe? What are you going to see there? I keep wondering what this trip will be like. Will it be touristy? Will I 'feel' anything spiritual? Will I meet anyone who is real? I have no idea what my Isreal-ity will be -- but I am open.

Go in peace
A fitting sign for leaving Israel. I expected the historical and biblical experiences. I hoped for the spiritual significance, but I was not expecting to learn so much about the struggle for peace in the land of Israel and Palestine. The struggle, the anger, the hope, the poverty and wealth and power... All exist. All abound. I snapped this last shot as I was leaving the Dead Sea yesterday. I do leave in Peace, and following the advice and pleas of Father Raed from Taybah and Elias from House of Hope, I will pray for peace and ask peers to join me.
