What a terrific day! We visited the church of the Multiplication (Jesus feeding 5,000 men plus women and children with 5 loaves and 2 small fish) and the Church of the Primacy of Peter (Peter asked by Jesus 3 times, "do you love me?" followed by Jesus' statement "Feed my sheep.")

It would have been enough for us -- but God is the God of so much more! We had the blessing of going to the Cliff of Arbel. As we looked over Migdal, Tiberius, Tabgha, the Sea of Galilee, and the plain of Genneseret on this incredibly clear day I was reminded of how miniscule we are -- yeyt God knows not only our name, but the number of hairs on our head!!!! What an awesome God we serve.

It seems that many of us have gone from tourist to pilgrim today. At the racetrack there are spectators and participants. Today we all became participants! We cannot hear the Biblical accounts in the same way ever again. We are no longer just listeners -- while listening to the account while in the very place we become part of the story. Lord -- thank you for being the God of so much more!
