Dome of the ROCK

Amy, Me, and the Dome

Okay. Let's talk about how much I love the Dome of the Rock. I love the Dome of the Rock!! I loved walking around it. I was all sorts of excited being up close and personal to the this beautiful ancient building. I soaked in as much of the history as I could! I had goosebumps all over my body when I thought about Solomon's Temple, King David, Christ....all of these people and stories that took place RIGHT THERE! There is so much history just seeping through and through the ground right there on the Temple Mount.

If you look to the East from there, you have a perfect view of the Mount of Olives, where Christ ascended into heaven....and where he will return!!....and soon I hope :) There was a special feeling there -- can't wait to go back! Sometimes I still can't believe that I am here in this old and wonderful city. It's truly a dream come true.
