So, as Kristen has been hounding me, I will post a few words. We arrived back in Childress last night about 7:30 pm, and obviously being very tired, did a few things, and went to bed.
Reflecting on back on the last two weeks, I will say it was an experience of a lifetime, and a memorable vacation. Learning such little details of how archaeology proves bible history and can be used to show how different the world is from what Jehovah requires was mind blowing and very faith strengthening. We are going to review the bible prophecy video and review our photos and notes from the British Museum and the bible tour, to keep those thoughts well in mind.
Then getting to meet and visit with the brothers and sisters at Bethel was a great privilege. We all had commented on the feeling we had as we entered through the doors into the main building. It was like all stress melted away, the tiredness we felt from walking 10 blocks or so uphill from the train station was gone, and there was no fear of some crazy person that could harm you. Everyone was smiling and happy! Truly this is Jehovah's organization.
Thinking of the secular sites we visited, we were in awe over the power of the human mind that Jehovah created, and we use such a small portion of it, yet it came up with the Eiffel Tower, Arch de Triumph, beautiful paintings and sculptures, and wall reliefs and other architecture. We tried to imagine what things will be like in the new system when we will have 100% access to our brains, and the things we will be able to engineer, design, and make, when we all live in peace and harmony.
Today, we rested, and while still tired, feel pretty good about our Jet Lag. We will see what tomorrow brings.
Hope you enjoyed the small glimpse into trip, and we will be happy to share more with you!
Your comment about brain power improvements in the new world reminded me of memory capacity and brain power. Isaac Asimov said our brains were capable of storing our lives' memory plus a billion time more. People used to say we used only 1% of our brain - now people say it's only .1%. Maybe it'll even be less. Glad you enjoyed your trip.
