“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee.” ~ Psalms 122: 6 ~
“Mankind, East and West, Christian and Muslim, accepted the Jewish conviction that there is only one G-d. Today it is polytheism that is so difficult to understand, that is so unthinkable.”

“There is a famous story in which the Kaiser asks Bismark, “Can you prove the existence of God?” Bismark replies, “The Jews, your majesty. The Jews.”

Hi Kathy – you've been on an interesting journey and glad it brought you full circle Home.
Hi English Cottage – I share your concerns.
Hi Carol – eventually, this administration Will answer for their Mid-East policies.
Hi Star – yes, Christians need to be in prayer but Christians also need to be in action.
Hi Nancy – you've been tucked into prayer and hope you're doing better, much better!

It needs a lot of praying, it sure does. I shall continue to pray and hope that God will sort out the mess here on earth, that we find ourselves in. I enjoyed your post today.
Thank you for your comment on my Blog.
Blessings, Star

Sandie, wonderful post! We should all pray for that peace. It's just mind boggling how this administration is treating this politically……
shameful.
English Cottage in Georgia says
Your Sabbath post is spot on…"pray for the peace of Jerusalem" indeed. I am fearful of the change in our Middle East policy and it's impact on Israel.
Thank you for your visit and comment at my blog so glad my post could revive your college days:-)

Hi Sandra – I went thru a period of searching in my late 20s and early 30s, and ended up studying Judaism, and converting to that faith in 1993. I started going back to a Christian church later on, but do not regret that time spent studying and learning about Judaism and the Jewish people. It set a foundation for me of how The Church started. The one thing that seemed lacking in the synagogue I attended was the Spirit – everything seemed rote and people seemed to go there mainly for socializing. So, I knew my place was to be in the Christian church again – and God let me explore Judaism for a while, but kept drawing me back to Him and His Son. I have a deep respect for the Jewish people as a whole, and I recognized a lot of the names of the people your quotes were taken from, from when I was studying. Thanks for bringing back those good memories for me today. Take care, from KY.
