In The Thick of Things


Here is a map of the route of the Exodus that the Israelites took from Egypt. I have been reading about their journey and I connect with it on such a deeper level, as I am able to look out onto the very land the Israelites walked through. This morning, I was on the roof on the house and literally could see the Red Sea and the entire Gulf of Aqaba. Yet, it is hard to understand how in the Holy Land, most are walking in complete opposition to what was experienced so long ago. While I could see the places where part of the Exodus happened, it was blurred by the roaring speakers of the daily call to prayer of the local mosque. This is the definition of dichotomy. Miss you all.
