In the Tunnels Below Jerusalem

Stones which were laid centuries ago line our path
The past comes alive once more in these stones
Millenia have passed since these stones were laid 
One can almost feel the sweat and toil it took to lay them
The years have changed us
But some things remain unchnaged
The power that draws people to this ancient city
Has kept us safe and will keep us safe in the future
Our livesd are bound to the lives of the ancients
Their strggles, their lives were not in vain
The years will prove this to be true
The worshippers continue to pray at the
Kotel and in the tunnels below

Matt, thank you for sharing the blessing imagery, that lives around the tunnels... I'm hoping all is well with you and the trip to Isreal... I'm glad I stopped by and spotted your name online... Goodnight... LINDA
