After viewing the land where Abraham lived we were shown Bedouin hospitality. We were humbled by love from these people. They didn't know we were coming till about 5 minutes before we arrived. we arrived at noon and they welcomed us that made you almost cry. these are muslim people that treated us. they made sweet tea and unleavened bread and made it for us. they had food for all 52 of us. they made the bread, including making a fire and they bring everything to the room in front of us. its amazing, ask any of the people traveling when they get home.
next we hiked the masada that king herod made for himself around 30 bc. check out this picture and bless GOD we all made it up and back down. the history circled around this rock is hard to describe. what a wicked king he was.
to the family of jimmy, check your dad and hubby floating in the dead sea like a dead man. you walk in the sea and your legs just come up. it was so cool, my biggest struggle was trying to get my legs down after they surfaced.
Mark and Joetta, i was walking by the dead sea when a man was heading to our hotel and he said he was from kirksville missouri. I couldn't help but think of you.
Rendall, Karina & Mariah We miss you so much! your mommy and daddy are experiencing a life changing experience that will give you a life to follow with many exciting stories. God has been so good to your mommy and daddy! We love you so much!

Roy- Thank you so much for blogging the trip for all of us with family there. It has meant so much to see where my father has been day after day. As I am in Texas now I don't get to see him much. So the picture you posted is the first I have seen of him in a while. They him that I love him and sorry I missed his phone call. Thank you as well for the testimony you are posting for the world to see.
Thank you,
Jami :-)
Roy, Thanks so much for this blog. Ron Laney is my pastor. Tell Ron and Spencer hello. Tell Spencer that I remember well his passion the day he taught the class about Masada. It must have been very awe inspiring for all of you to climb up and down. Glad you all made it. Much Love in Christ,
Jim Davis
