The Wailing Wall
Several days ago, Mom and I went to the wailing wall or the Western Wall or the Kotel (however you like to call it) and I walked up to the wall and saw many people weeping and wailing and praying and kissing it and writing prayers down on paper and folding them up carefully to put them in the deep crevices of the ancient wall which probably dates to about 30 B.C. The Wall was filled (literally!) with prayers. Wow…Jesus probably walked right past that old city wall. Maybe he touched it! Other people were taking pictures as tourists, and some were reading from the Torah (our old testament). Some were praying some laughing and playing in a Jewish celebration. Jewish women were standing on chairs to peek over to the men’s side to try and join in on their party. I wonder what God thinks about that sacred wall.
