Sorry, we had no Internet the last two days so here's a quick post before bed. In the last two days we've walked on the water at the Sea of Galilee, (OK, we stood on a pipe, but it looks like we're walking on it!) we baptized people in the Jordan River, saw where Jesus fed the 5,000, called the disciples, taught in the synagogue and saw the cliffs where the pigs died when demons came out of the man at the Sea of Galilee. We've also floated in the Dead Sea, (Way cooler than I thought it would be.) saw Beth Shean, Masada, Qumran (Where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.) and hiked at Ein Gedi where David cut off part of King Saul's robe. It's been jam packed and full of so many high lites, where do you begin!?
I'd have to say that the biggest high lites have been reading the Bible in the spot where the event happened. Tonight, on our way into Jerusalem we read the story of the Good Samaritan while traveling on the road from Jericho to Jerusalem. That was so cool and so much better than any other time I've heard the story.
o wow. I'm so glad to see Jackie got baptized in the Jordan river!
