Day 10 Continued.........

This day has been so packed full. From an unplanned stop by the hillside to have a lesson on the sower and continued to the threshing floor, the nice fields of boundaries and then to the stone quarry. We stopped for a session at the winepress and had the girls dance. That was special!! We had a lesson under the trees but can't recall the lesson. Next we visited another one of Herod's buildings.

We left this place and headed to Capernaum and visited the place were Jesus lived. We walked up the hill by the groves of bananas. What else am I missing for this power packed day??

One Year Anniversary!

A year ago this was us! We were in Chicago heading to Israel for a wonderful study trip to the land of the Bible. These pictures came from Terry, Spencer, Levi and Anne!

Day 10 Continued.........

After the sower, the thrashing floor we got to the possible (carpenters shop) new thought on the work traits of our Messiah!

Day 10 Continued.........

The second part of our day was outside of Bethlehem if I recall correctly. We passed some nice Olive Trees and our teacher broke off a few twigs and took them along to the top of a hill (threshing floor). I couldn't find a picture of this so maybe I'll try and convert a video file.

We walked a ways and got another nice picture of the land dividers aka rocks and path. Anybody remember specific lessons from here?

Day 10 The sower

I recall jumping passionately on the bus for another day of learning. As we drove east from the nice restful hotel like the day before, no idea where we go but convinced another day we wouldn't want to be left behind. All of a sudden we hear the sounds something like this, "It seems the Lord has other plans, pull over stop the bus!" Getting 50 people to vacate the bus and cross a busy highway is a challenge.
This morning the traffic was heavy as the children of Israel aka Joe tried to cross together. You kidding me, half the group was down the other side by the time us taggers finally got to cross over.
Anybody remember the wonder lessons we learned here? Remember those guys trying to dig and carry out a rock? How about some comments on the lesson of the sower.

Day 9 Decapolis Cont...

We left Decapolis and took a short hike up to the top of the hill where once was a city overlooking the sea of Galilee called Susita. Here we enjoyed a beautiful sunset along with a time of praying for some of our friends and families who have not experienced freedom from the bondage of Satan.

This hillside was very possible the place where the demon possessed man met Yeshua and was delivered from his bondage.

Day 9 Decapalis continued...

One of my great memories of this place was the ICE CREAM bars!!! Also the large coliseum left some not so memories imprinted in my mind. I had to think of the one in Rome where so many of my brothers gave their life for our precious saviour!

Here the heat was intense at around 120 degrees. This city was destroyed by an earthquake. One has to wonder if it was the wrath of Almighty God!
