It is Sunday in Jerusalem, and the rest is welcomed by Brenda and me. We have been traveling and teaching for eleven consecutive days.
The students from McKendree University departed for home last night. We have today off before the second group arrives from St. Paul UCC in New Bremen, Ohio.
Jerusalem has three holy days a week. Muslims observe Friday as a Day of Prayer; Jews rest on Shabbat (Friday sundown until Saturday sundown). Christians worship and rest on Sunday.
This day is most welcomed by the two of us. We have enjoyed the rest.
