The first week of our journey has been a week filled with fun, new sights, and revelations as we have had the opportunity to visit the people and the archeologicy of the land of the Bible.
History came alive in Cesarea, Tiberias, Bet She'an National Park, the Masada National Park and the Quam'ran. The Church of the Beatitudes, the Church of the Primacy, the Church of the first feeding of the multitude at Tabgha and other holy sights were meaningful and moving for me as a person of faith.
Traveling to Bethlehem today, I noticed Bedouin tribes, shepherds with their sheep, and the walls in Jerusalem that separate people from one another. The freedom of the Bedouin tribes, sherpherds and sheep, juxtaposed with the confinement of walls that limit mobility for some in Israel reminds me that this is a complex society that needs our prayers. Pray for peace for all the peoples in Israel.
