A
Spiritual Journey through Israel
As many of you know, Troy and I,
along with about 50 other Texans just returned from a trip to Israel. I’m
inviting you to join me in my reminiscing, as I carefully probe back through my
days in the Holy Land. I believe the time will be well spent, exciting and far
less exhausting than the original journey. Each post will include new and fascinating pictures which will help bring the stories alive. So,
Let’s start at the very
beginning, a very good place to start. When you read you begin with A, B, C;
when you sing you begin with Do, Re, Me; and when you travel through Israel you
begin with God’s Word.
Pastor Rob, from Lonestar Cowboy
Church was our leader, Billy from Nazereth our guide, Fadi our driver, but
God’s Word was the foundation of our trip. Our theme text, Psalm 48, extols
God’s majesty and encourages the reader to explore his chosen land. And we did
both during our time in Israel. We praised our mighty God and walked about in
the land spoken of throughout the pages of our Bibles.
Our itinerary had little
breathing room. Before the rooster even thought to crow, we were up, fed and on
the bus, yawning from jet lag, but eager for the day’s exploration. I am just
as eager to revisit these sites with you. Stay tuned… we begin on the Mt. of
Olives, a very good place to start.
What all happened here? And why is
it now a massive graveyard? Just a few of the topics for our next discussion.
