What a beautiful Lord's Day

Our day began a little latter than most days. We had a leisure breakfast then went to church at 11:00 AM in Ben Jalla, the church that Julie attended most of the time that she lived here. That was a very precious and powerful experience worshiping with this small group of Palestine believers. I had an opportunity to great the church and share briefly with them. The political situation between Israel and Palestine makes life so very hard for these believers. Pray for these brothers and sisters in Christ. We enjoyed dinner with them at a local restaurant. Our worshipping with them touched their hearts because very few pilgrims worship with the local believers.

We spent the afternoon visiting Herodion, the remains of the palace of Herod the great on Herodion mountain. We also visited what they call Solomon’s pools. They have nothing to do with King Solomon but are a part of the water system.

This is a quick morning because we are leaving this area at 8:00 am for the Sea of Galilee area staying in Nazareth the next two nights.
