Maria and I returned home safetly, baruch Hashem! The trip was a long one (16 hours flight time on three different flights) made more so by the fact that we couldn’t sleep on Saturday night. We were able to get some sleep on the planes, but you know how that kind of sleep is […]
Slight Change in Plans
Now before you go thinking the title of this post means I’ve opted to stay in Israel, that’s not the case. Our flight is at am and we thought we could catch a few hours sleep then head for the airport. Turns out we have to be there by 2am, and there are no shared […]
Feeling Full
Shabbat Shalom from the land of Israel! Today is our last day here and I am feeling full. That’s the only way I know how to describe it. Satisfied doesn’t quite cover it. It’s like the difference between eating until you are satisfied, and feeling completely full. Those who diet understand what I mean. The […]
In the Every Day Things
Today was another amazing day. As I’ve said before, just when we think it can’t get any better, it does. Sometimes in powerful ways, sometimes in the every day things. We rose early to catch Daniel Carmel’s worship boat. Daniel’s is the only boat run by a believer. He came to faith in Yeshua 17 […]
Beauty and Ruins are Reminders
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 […]
