Wonderful Day

Today started off rather ominously (sp?) with Kim not feeling so well. She had a minor stomach upset which we both think is from the abundance of fresh fruit and especially the fresh fruit juice that we have both been drinking. For an hour of so after a small breakfast (all of which came right back out the way it went in) she felt queezy and not herself. She stayed on the bus while we visited the first city which Christ rebuked for their rejection of him despite all the miracles he performed there. But after that she began to feel better and better. She did well the rest of the day. We spent all of the day around or on the Sea of Galilee. It was here that the Saviour spent more than half of his ministry. At each stop it was not difficult to imagine following him and it was as if he was there as the spirit certainly was. These first two pictures are of the Sea of Galilee the first looking south and west toward the city of Tiberius and the second from the city of Tiberius looking north and east. What a beautiful site. I can not explain what today did for my testimony and bringing these stories of our Savior alive in my mind.




As you can see Kim was feeling much better in the afternoon. We had a good lunch of fish...yes the whole thing. Head, tail, fins, eyes and all caught from the Sea of Galilee. Despite the sea being commercially fished for nearly 2000 years it continues to provide fish without end.

My final pictoral thought is that of this ancient olive press. It was in the city of Capernum where the apostle Peter had his home. Also here in this ancient city was a synagog dated to the 1st century and would not be unreasonable to say that Christ, he being a Rabbi, could have taught here. We literally walked today where Jesus walked. Now we must spiritually take that challenge as well.



We are loving our time here. We miss our children greatly but this opportunity to see where the Christ lived, taught, died and was resurected has been wonderful. What a blessing it has been for us to have this chance. We can't wait to see you again and share with you our wonderful experiences. Until tomorrow.
