Then the Lord said to Moses, "I will rain down bread from heaven for you.
The people are to go out EACH DAY and gather enough for that day.
In this way, I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions."
~ Exodus 16:4

Jerusalem

I've been missing Israel recently, especially Jerusalem.  Psalm 137 comes to mind often:

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion...


How can we sing the songs of the Lord
while in a foreign land?


If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.


May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy...
