SAFE TOUCH DOWN
Friends and Family,
While the middle of the afternoon there, its 10 p.m. in Tiberius. We landed on time from our 12 hour flight from Atlanta Georgia. Friends Stuart and Anita and Israeli tour guide Jacob were here to welcome us.
We drove in our motor coach 2 hours from Tel Aviv to Tiberius where they had held dinner for us. As I promised, the food in Israel is exquisite. We arrived at the hotel thinking we were more tired than hungry. After our first course... we were more hungry than tired. No one skipped the dessert buffet.
Our hotel is on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. We can see the lights of the Golan Heights across the lake. In the morning, God willing, we will watch the sun come up over the water.
There are not words to describe the feelings. Driving from Tel Aviv, we past the exit sign to Nazareth, Mount Carmel, Meggido (the place of the battle recorded in Revelations). The quiet question inside is "can this be?" "Are we really here?"
We are really here. Its great to be here or be back... Anita was here with another church group 26 years ago! And I continue to pray for stirrings of the Spirit to be in us. Thanks for caring about these pilgrims. God bless you this week in our absence. PEACE AND JOY, THE CELTIC MONK
