The Good Samaritan

this Holy Land is so amazing!!! in about fifteen minutes, we were lead into the wilderness...the same wilderness Christ was tempted in, on the same wilderness road the Good Samaritan parable was staged! this was a great adventure through steep canyond and rocky terrain. there is little if no covering, and it really is the wilderness. there has been tourists in the past who will come into this place and get lost. it is hot and dry and tough. again, walking on a road that Jesus traveled many times. it was a nicer day, thank God, so we really didn't get the full experience of the desert heat. so, we went down to Jericho...very beautiful and fertile. just a 10 to 15 minute drive away from the middle of nowhere. all kinds of flowers and trees 'n' stuff. amazing. got to see the wall that fell at the hands of Joshua (actually God). with this said, i wanna be like the good samaritan...i think he is more like Jesus than me...
