This morning I read Psalm 48:
Walk about Zion, go around her,
number her towers,
consider well her ramparts,
go through her citadels,
that you may tell the next generation
that this is God,
our God forever and ever.
He will guide us forever.
So how cool was it to be able to do an unplanned walk around the top of the wall, starting at the Jaffa Gate and ending at the Western Wall. What a great way to see the city.
As the day progressed, a sandstorm blew in. I can taste the dust even now. You can see it in one of the pictures as a haze that gradually took over everything in the following hours.
