Everyone in my office knows I'm going to Jerusalem, but this one man loves to bring it up every time he talks to me.
Today he told me how much time is left until I leave:
Today he told me how much time is left until I leave:
(In case I wasn't counting down on a whiteboard in my room)
7 weeks from today.
Then he said "Shalom" to me.
Another man asked where we were going while we were there and when I mentioned Jericho, he said he didn't know exactly where that was.
The next day he came to my desk to tell me he had looked it up online.
It's in Israel.
Nearly every conversation I have with anyone in this place revolves around Jerusalem.
I'm okay with that.
I love talking about it.
I am SO excited!
I get home exactly 6 weeks from the day you wrote this blog...that means we'll have a whole week together before you go! :) YIPEEEEE!
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, I am so glad that you called this post 'the scuttlebut' because I used that same phrase the other day and nobody knew what I was talking about. You complete me.
