Day 15 was suppose to be a picture of something I want to do before I die. I want to see Jerusalem. I want to go to the Holy Land and see the places my Savior walked. The year before my father-in-law died, the church sponsored a trip to Israel. I tried to talk my husband into going but he refused because of his fear of the fighting over there. My father-in-law attempted to convince my mother-in-law to go but she too refused on the same grounds: fear of the war. Pops then asked me to go with him. I SO wish I had said yes but I didn't. I did not want to go without my husband. I believed at the time that given a year, I may convince Mark to go. Pops died that next year. My father-in-law is already in the New Jerusalem and is waiting on the rest of us. I know I will see Israel when the Lord calls us home but still . .. I do wish I could go now.
