Day 1 Lesson 3 Standing Stones

It's Tuesday night and somehow Sunday passed me by! We were in Florida for the weekend and came home Monday and then an evening birthday party for a friend so here we are. Just came back from a Hebrew bible study with our partial community. As I recall the first day walking past the dar dar tree and visited Tel Gezer and then looked over to the mmm I think east and saw the mountain range where Jacob had his vision of the stairs going up to heaven.

The lesson for this week is standing stones. I was very moved by this lesson. Why did they built or set these huge stones? How big were these monuments? Was this only for the children of Israel? How can we learn from these? When should we erect a stone? What are reasons to set up a stone? Have we taken the opportunity to set a stone or stones since we are back? Check out the picture of the group walking up the hill.....did somebody say public rest rooms? This was our first RVL Restroom and yes, very public I might add!!

Day 1 Lesson 2 Shephelah

After we left the city gates we walked to the top of the hills and viewed the mountains to the east and the cities to the west. Does anyone remember what happened on the mountains? The word shephelah means low translated lowlands. What is the danger with shephelah? Why was this such an important place? Where is our shephelah and how do we minister? What do you remember about this lesson? Am so blessed by all your comments! I'm getting pictures from Terry tomorrow and then I have another 2300 pix to grab.

Day 1 Lesson 1 City gates at gezer

The first day we stopped by this tree, can you name it and tell us what was special about it? What was the reason for the city gate? What happened at the city gate? Who sat there and who came there? How can we live out this lesson? How have you put this teaching in practice since you arrived home? Tell us your experience in the comments.

Thy kingdom comes as his will is done!!

Day 7 Review

Good morning everyone! Its 4:45 am and I'm awake. Imagine that! Its called not quite back to normal schedule. I thought maybe a few pictures would remind us of God's wonderful grace the last few weeks.

If you didn't get my email from last evening, please advise! Also, pray for Karina Rose our oldest daughter. Last night she broke out with a fever and her neck has some deep pain. She's still sleeping, when I check her at a little after 4 she still had a low grade fever.

Home at last!!!!

We arrived safely home on Monday Morning 11:20. We bless God for his wonderful mercy to our family as we traveled. May God root deep within our hearts his wonderful love for us!

We have been so blessed to travel with you all. Thanks for your encouragement and the wonderful words you wrote in our notebook. We are humbled by your love and support.

We love you all!
