What a joy it was to lead a team of 25 individuals on a tour of the Holy Land during the past couple of weeks. We spent the first night in a hotel on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea (see picture). From there we toured key Biblical sites throughout the land of Israel. It was a blessing to read the Beatitudes from the likely spot where Jesus preached the sermon on the mount, to take a boat ride on the very lake that Jesus walked upon, to stand upon a stone floor that dates to Jesus' day and was located in the place where the soldiers abused our Lord, to see an empty tomb that fits the description of the tomb that Jesus borrowed for a few days before bursting forth in resurrection glory. It was truly a great trip. Thanks to all the team members who made it such a memorable experience for Jan and me.
