Bring The World To..... Y O U!

If you have explored the Home page of my web page called Blogger Home you will find some interesting sites to visit. Some make sense and some don’t. Some are ridiculous!
You will also find that the blog home is international. I clicked on one blog, which was a young man in the Antarctic, and he had posted pictures of seals and such as was common to his environment. Then again I checked another out and it was written in Russian.
This is just a small way we can bring the world into our little piece of space that we inhabit on this earth. Within a moments click.... we have reached the other side of the globe....
Who would have dreamed such many years ago?

As a child I loved to read. I was enchanted by the books that told tales about the Great Wall of China, Sphinx at Giza near Cairo, Egypt, The Great Pyramids, Russia and the Revolution, Hawaiian Islands etc.
In books the world was brought to my doorstep so to speak.
Later in life as an adult and a military wife, I was able to see many of these worlds that I had only read about.

My husband, Charlie and our son, Chad,and I each rode a camel from the Pyramid of Knufu near Giza to the Sphinx, which was about a 20-minute camel ride. Talking about dreams come true and realizing that the world indeed is small.....this proved it.
Also, I went to Communist Russia in 1982 and prayed silently in Red Square near Lenin’s tomb. This was a prayer of intercession of good over evil that God had placed in my heart earlier. About six months later Billy Graham went to Russia (he was criticized severely by the press) and I knew that good would come, spiritually, of this faithful Man of God’s visit. Later I found out that there were many others like myself who had been actively interceding for this land.

Upon going to Israel.....again only reading about this land in “The Book”, Charlie, Chad and I were baptized in the Jordan River. Chad as a child, had always said that he wanted to be baptized where Jesus was.... and he had that dream fulfilled.
What a blessing!

Now I can sit at my computer and click to http://www.aish.com/wallcam/Place-A-Note-In-The-Wall
and have a personal prayer taken to the Great Western Wall in Jerusalem by a young Jewish college student.

How is that for ....Bringing The World To Y O U!
