New Year Resolutions… To be, or not to be?

Well, I’m keeping one of my New Year Resolutions right now…to blog again! There are mixed opinions on Resolutions! Some won’t make them at all and figure why should they? Even the internet says that 90% of resolutions are broken by mid-year…most in the first 3 weeks! Others make them every year. Why do we make them? Because who doesn’t want to improve something about themselves? < Where … [Read More...]

Sorry I wasn’t able to post last night. It was a travel day and it was brutal!! However, we started the morning in the Garden of Gethsemane and the place where most scholars believe Jesus was crucified and laid in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. There are two places in Israel where experts think it happened. We saw the first one already, and I really hope that THIS one is the place. It meets … [Read More...]

We started our morning at the Garden of Gethsemane – which was very touching. We had a teaching there by one of our tour mates, Steve Carpenter, and then we got to spend time alone in the Garden…it was indescribable.

Today was right up there in the FAVORITES section! First thing this morning, we drove to Masada. Now if you don’t know this story (I didn’t), you need to. It is a story of courage and strength! Masada was the last bastion of Jewish freedom fighters against the Romans; and courageously committed mass suicide rather than have their wives and children be tortured and all become slaves of the … [Read More...]

Shabbat Shalom! Today we leave Tiberius and head toward the Dead Sea, where we will bunk for one night before we head to Jerusalem tomorrow. Our first stop was to Bet Sha’en, which was where Saul and Jonathan died and their bodies displayed in the city (remember that story? – 1 Sam 31). It was amazing that so much of the structure has been recovered and restored. By far the most interesting … [Read More...]

Today was ruined! Full of “RUINS”! We saw temples and excavations and Nature preserves… Lots of walking, but very cool. We started our day on a 2 hour jeep ride up to Golan Heights. Nothing like starting your day with a little off-roading! Our guide, Simon, was awesome and we had a lot of fun on our “Jeep Safari”. It reminded me of our property at Fisheating Creek, although we … [Read More...]
