What a long flight!  My ankles look like – well – huge. All good – and worth it.

Duke and Carlene Westover of Ducar Tours met our group at Tel Aviv.   Ido, a 7th generation Israeli and archeologist, is our guide.

As we rode along the way to Tiberius (2 1/2 hours), Ido pointed out Mt. Carmel.  This is where the prophets challenged Elijah to a dual of gods (I Kings 18: 16-46)…..  but There is No God like Jehovah!

Our hotel overlooks the Sea of Galilee. I’m looking forward to reading my Bible on the balcony tomorrow.

Father, your holiness and your kindness take me back.  Thank you for your goodness to me. I can’t help but think of all those I know who love you so much and would love to visit this land where time began.  Lord, please help me not to miss what you’ve entrusted to me with this opportunity.
