Spending almost three weeks in the Holy Land will teach you things. Things about yourself. Things about others. Things about YHWH. Things about life. You’ll find yourself, later on, in situations where those lessons learned prove to be insightful. Take, for instance, The Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
