Of Bibical Porportions

Today was our first full day with the mission. It was freaking amazing. One of the four best days of my life along with my daughter's birth, my wedding and seeing The Mets win the 1986 World Series. Keep in mind I come from a long line of Yankee fans. I felt a connection with my ancestors, climbing The Temple Mount was a dream come true. The land of milk and honey, Kings David and Solomon, David Ben Gurion and Menachem Begin. You cannot understand the problems here nor can you grasp the beauty here until you have spent the day uncovering ancient Jerusalem.
