I’m having a hard time focusing this morning. My heart is heavy with all the violence against God’s people. I guess I made the mistake of looking at Facebook before journaling my experiences from yesterday. Though, they may go hand in hand. Yesterday we did a lot of driving as we ventured north to Tel […]

‘Stepping’ Through Time
Last night I wandered along the Sea of Galilee, trying to process all that occured yesterday. While the sea was tranquil, there was a lot of activity on the pier. It reminded me of Hollywood Beach’s broadwalk. (Nope, not a typo, it’s not a boardwalk but a broadwalk.) If you, you will know that we […]
My Elijah Experience
There are a lot of things I want to share with you in the morning about our day today. But for tonight, I just can’t go to sleep without sharing one thing that happened today – because it was so powerful. Maria and I visited Elijah’s Cave. There are actually two – one Jewish, the […]
The Adventure Continues…
Today was an adventurous day, followed by another adventure in our sleeping arrangements. We left Jerusalem and headed to Pitah Tikva. A friend asked if we were going to be near Tel Aviv, and it wasn’t too far out of the way, could we check out a town for her. Of course. So we plugged […]
Shiloh – Tranquility in the Midst of Chaos
Yesterday when I woke up, I was talking to the Lord about the safety of going to Shiloh. You see, Shiloh is in Samaria, which is within what people call ‘the West Bank’. In my heart I wanted to go, but the heart can be deceitful, so I sought the Lord. He reminded me that […]
Second Shabbat in the Land
Yesterday was our second Shabbat in the land. It started out peaceful but things got a little hairy in the latter part of the day, though the evening was ended well. We joined my friend, Proclaim Liberty’s kehilot (congregation) Ro’eh Yisrael. It was wonderful getting to meet an internet friend and brother in Messiah. The […]
Two Sites of the Dead Sea
Good morning from Jerusalem. It is Shabbat, and everything is shut down. It’s very peaceful. Maria and I will be heading to a Messianic synagogue in a little while, but I wanted to keep this journal going. Yesterday Maria and I got started a little later than normal. We were enjoying taking our time. I […]
From Mountaintop to Mountaintop
If you are following me on Facebook, then you know I was on the top of a very tall mountain, sleeping in a tent last night. Maria and I didn’t know what to expect. We turned off the main road and started up a narrow two-lane highway. Did I mention it was a very TALL […]
Show Me Your Glory
This is the post I prepared this morning while I did not have internet. I am sitting here on a picnic bench, listening to crickets chirping high atop a mountain overlooking the Dead Sea. We are staying in Metzoke Dragot, a compound of tents. I can’t see stars due to the lights, but right now […]
On Top of a Mountain
This is going to be rather brief. I am currently on top of a plateau overlooking the Dead Sea. No cell phone service and spotty wifi connection. The view is incredible, the sunset gorgeous, and the food that was spread before us was a feast fit for a king. I want to share our experience […]
