| Overlooking the Dead Sea from Masada Visiting the land of the Bible has made God's Word come even more alive! I'm grateful to God for providing this opportunity. I continue to rejoice in His promises as I look to the future with hope! "And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east..." Zechariah 14:4a "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;" Titus 2:13 |
Thank you for sharing your trip! Beautiful photos you have shared! The garden of Gethsemane really pricked my heart...I think I would have cried just being there...knowing the prayers of my Lord as he was there. And the empty tomb ~ hallelujah!!
