Lynn Ross, "I am leaning against an olive tree in a small, private garden, part of the Garden of Gethsemane. It is much smaller than it was in Jesus' day. The birds are singing and there is a light breeze blowing. I am writing in my journal and these are some of the thoughts that came to me.

I am where my Lord was, maybe in the same spot on that night so long ago. Would I have stayed awake and prayed with him? What kind of disciple would I have been? What kind of disciple am I now? Am I truly committed? Do I only talk the talk, yet think I walk the walk?
Lord, speak to my heart. Help me honestly look inside myself and see what you see. May there be no pretense or sham. May I be a true follower of you. Psalm 26:2-3 comes to mind. It says: Test me, O Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth."
