My trip to Israel was like that. I opened myself to new foods, history, landscape, people, and culture. My heart swelled with love for this new place as I visited the Jordan river, listened to a shepherd tell of his duties in Nazareth, rode a camel in Bethany, practiced yoga at a kibbutz near the Sea of Galilee, and rode a chariot at Armageddon. There were other places too--Jerusalem, Temple Mount, Bethlehem, Masala, Garden of Gethsemane, and the Dead Sea to name a few. Each place held its own unique beauty and my life was enriched.
