Road Tripping in Israel
Posted on September 22, 2016 Leave a Comment
We truly ran where Jesus walked; at least, our tour bus ran! For a country so small, we definitely put the miles in, and we still did not see all of Israel! Day four of the trip was a treat {everyday was amazing}! Not long after the sun rose, we settled into our coach bus […]

The town behind me is Nazareth, Israel. It is built on a hillside, and one of its cliffs is the scene of an interesting account from the Scriptures. You see, buildings change and even culture changes, but when the Word of God highlights the topography of a place, you and I can set our eyes […]

The picture above […]
