THE PROMISED LAND


This bottom photo is somewhere in the vicinity of where Moses stood when he first laid eyes on the The Promised Land. Even without that history, it can't help but be a holy place. It certainly makes a strong case for GOD being Nature. I imagined myself coming out of the desert and seeing this vista. Of course he didn't know it, but what Moses was looking down at was the lowest point on earth, the Dead Sea (known back then as the Salt Sea). I wonder how many travelers reached this point, saw the beautiful body of water below, and ran down these rugged mountains only to find the water totally useless. Luckily I know better, plus I have a car.
