After a 14 hour flight from Newark to Tel Aviv, we have arrived. All things considered it went quite smoothly. Sleeping on the flight wasn’t really a possibility as the activity level never seemed to slow down. So we were a tired bunch going thru immigration. We were met by a tour guide and after collecting our bags, we were off to Jaffa on a beautiful coach. The landscape reminded us of everything from AZ to the midwest to Puerto Rico! We stopped at the house of Simon the Tailor and saw the whale water fountain where Jonah was reportedly swallowed. Had a lovely lunch in an open air market then off to our hotel in Netanya for some much needed rest. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring!

Thinking of you walking the paths where Jesus walked, and sharing communion with Jerusalem as a backdrop, brings joy to my heart. If you find any homeless cats . . .

I’ve thinking of you all! Love this song:

I walked today where Jesus walked,
In days of long ago.
I wandered down each path He knew,
With reverent step and slow.
Those little lanes, they have not changed,
A sweet peace fills the air.
I walked today where Jesus walked,
And felt His presence there.
My pathway led through Bethlehem,
A memory's ever sweet.
The little hills of Galilee,
That knew His childish feet.
The Mount of Olives, hallowed scenes,
That Jesus knew before
I saw the mighty Jordan row,
As in the days of yore.
I knelt today where Jesus knelt,
Where all alone he prayed.
The Garden of Gethsemane,
My heart felt unafraid.
I picked my heavy burden up,
And with Him at my side,
I climbed the Hill of Calvary,
I climbed the Hill of Calvary,
I climbed the Hill of Calvary,
Where on the Cross He died!
I walked today where Jesus walked,
And felt Him close to me.
