Day 7 in Galilee






after arriving in galilee last night, we are all looking forward to the blessing at the same hotel for 5 straight days. bless God! WOW! this morning we ate our breakfast and hurried to the tree in front of the hotel for our morning word from God, we call it reading the text. i think most of us were thinking, great, we left the desert and now the steep climbing and 115 temperatures are behind us. nice surprise RVL! we get to the base of mt arbel and he tells us we are going that way pointing and i'm great, walking between 2 mountains and it will be great. was i ever wrong!!! we climbed this baby you see in the picture to the top. with out the help from each other we wouldn't have been able to make it. rugged with path of rock and at times maybe 12" wide and 80 degrees up. the rocks had cable and steel handles to grab or there was no way to go up there. now something happened up there that i think caused about everybody to shed tears. i cannot tell you on this blog. ask the person that you know who is with this group to tell you in person. if you email me next week i'll tell you, but only after we return. it took us around 4 hours to do this trip. there were times on the way down where it was straight down and we were hanging by those steel steps and wires. yes and that included Dale & Erma!!!! The lessons learned will have to be told next week, perhaps in every church!

The pix of the yellow hill is the place believed to be where Jesus fed the 5000, sermon on the mount. we had a wonderful teaching on the mountain 2 times. sorry am so tired i will have to get the notes from my room to give the details. the point is i'm half asleep.

thanks for your comments. this blog is averaging about 200 daily visits. may God be blessed by each of you as you read these words. i hope to give another faith lesson tomorrow. keep praying for us. we are very tired, our feet are burning, my knees are suddenly today giving me problems. God is good! Shalom

The blogs are awesome, Roy. Thank you. As your journey winds down, know that we have been praying and have been so enlightened of hearing about every (treacherous) step you have taken. I hope you continue to blog or let us know how this experience continues to touch your lives. May God continue to sustain and bless you all this week and beyond.

Thanks for your dedication, Roy. This is a wonderful gift you are giving to people who love the people you are with.

Knowing how tired you must be every night, and how you must be tempted to to skip, or at least shorten your posts only makes the gift more precious.

Please know that we are grateful for your efforts.

Keep walking! Keep posting! Only a few more days. Every mile, every word is worth it! God bless you.
