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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Every day here in the land has been a wonderful day. Just when I think it can’t get any better, it does. The first thing we did after booking our flight, was book the rabbi’s tunnel. This is a tour that takes you along the Western Wall underground, closer to the road of the second […]

So this morning, before I headed out for the day, I promised I would finish my impressions, and here I am. It’s nearly 11pm here in Jerusalem, that means it’s nearly 4pm in Ft Lauderdale. Yesterday, we were in the Israel Museum, and would have stayed more than the 5 or 6 hours we were […]
