When did you make the trip?
Was there in 2012, as it happens, when Harold Camping predicted the end of the world. Thought I’d have front row seats for the Apocalypse standing atop the Mount of Olives overlooking the Old City :-)
I’m glad you made it back. Glad for all of us!
At the firm from which I recently retired after nearly 30 years, they had (have?) a wonderful Receptionist named Dolores — a warm, elderly Christian lady who was a pleasure to work with & talk to.
