I made that title plural, because we actually saw three springs there. The first one is the neatest...check this out: Sorry the pic is sideways again. The back right corner of the cave shape is where the water gushes out, at a pretty good clip, too. The water is...
So it’s the end of day three, New Year’s Eve!! Well, as I type this, it is now New Years Day here in Jerusalem!!! Happy New Year everyone! I was too tired after supper tonight to do anything other than go directly to bed. Seriously. Tired. I wasn’t really...
This is up there for me too. Jesus home during His ministry years, and the home of not only Jairus, as in Jairus’ daughter who was raised from the dead by Jesus, but also the home of Peter’s mother-in-law...so Peter’s home and the site of the very first church of...
Yep, this is near the top of the list for really amazing spots, for Day 2. Lots of days to go with lots of neat stuff to see, but this is pretty darn cool if you ask me. So I didn’t know what this was either, but I know the Bible stories. Cast out your nets on the...
I can’t say I knew much about what this was until we got there, but the stories from the Bible relating to it, I did know. The most prominent one being that this is the place that is said to be where Jesus fed the 5,000 with 5 loaves and 2 fish. The church that is...

Another very emotional stop for me...you can’t believe what I’m about to show you. Still in awe myself, and I saw it live and in person. Our last stop before lunch was a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. Our guide Mike had brought a big bag of leftover bread for us...
Next up was the ruins of the town of Chorazin. There are different spellings, but this was the spelling in my bible. This site was particularly neat because we were allowed to roam around in the excavated ruins, and there was almost no one else there. It really...
Well, I have to admit, I got really emotional on a couple of the stops today, and this was one of them. Our first stop of day 2 was the Mount of Beatitudes, where Jesus preached His sermon about who are blessed. I couldn’t even make it through our devotion, it was...
Last stop before the hotel today was the Church of the Annunciation and St Joseph’s Church in old-city Nazareth. This would have been Jesus’ home town area. The Church of the Annunciation is in honor of where Mary lived at the time the angel came to visit her to let...
