First Nite

It's the first nite and we are all beat! Been up since Thursday at 3:30am. It's beautiful here. We are living next to the Sea of Galilee. Saw so many interesting things - a guy with a rifle outside the airport, a wall that divides the land, blooming flowers, water as blue as Lake Tahoe, and Chinese food for dinner.....

Part of a cool group of pastors - 5 without luggage but with a great attitude about it. One still missing - who we will continue to pray for his safe arrival. We are all so different, but this land connects us all - the land where our faith finds its roots, a faith that we have been called to live, to teach, and to share. Can't wait to begin to explore and see all that this land will show us and teach us about our faith and about ourselves.
