SO today being Jan. 9, 2011, it was a sunday!
So i really really missed Bridgewood today, I missed seeing everyone and talking to my friends and what not. I really missed Mark's speaking today, i bet it was amazing. Instead of being able to go to Bridgewood today, because of that 10 hour flight in between us, I attended a church in Jerusalem. It was a great experience to be honest with you I really liked going to a church inside the Old City that was just an awesome thing to do. I really didn't know what to expect because it was called Christ Church, and there was no information given to us other than that. Of course we leave early and everyone is like why and I say because we need to find this place and they were like it is right up there it will be okay, but good thing we left early because we couldn't find this place for a while, it was actually in a courtyard behind a store and just was a random place for a church. Anyways, this church really seems like a good one to me, it had english speaking, which was a great thing for all of us, it was small, about 50-60 people, and it was pretty upbeat which was great! But the thing that was interesting to me was that it was an anglican church, now i have never attended one of these before and to be honest i was super interested but as things went on it was more not my style. I am not saying that they are wrong or anything, they worship Jesus and preach the name of God, I love that and that is what matters but just not the same way as me, and that is totally fine, if we all had to worship the same that would be kind of boring, so the variety part of it was really good. The one thing that stood out to me most of anything was that they preached a lot about the salvation for Israel and for the nation, it makes sense because they are in Israel, but it was just more like we need to be Christians to help Israel instead of being a Christian to Love Jesus. I thought that was interesting to me! I just want to point out that we should all be grateful that we have Mark Spencer as our pastor because after this experience i respect him so much more! Thank you Mark!
So after that different experience! we decided to walk on the wall of the Old City, basically what you can do is buy a ticket to walk on top of the wall, called the Rampart's walk, and you get to see some amazing sights! It was so awesome! Had some fun times and good fellowship time with the guys! Had a fun day today but man that stuff wears you out!
So today was an interestingly great day! Lots of fun, lots of different things, btw thank you Sarah, and lots of good times!
So God bless and Peace to yall! DO GOOD and LOVE JESUS
