Israel Day 2....

Another incredible day in the Holy Land. We visited the amazing fortress of Masada. If you have not heard of it check this out here now. Its an amazing story of how the Romans took over the place against a courageous jewish rebels. amazing story! I also got to drive and walk through the Judean desert. We got to see the ruins at Qumran (which is where they found the dead sea scrolls) and I even got to swim in the dead sea. You really do float like it's nothing! crazy!! We ended up going to Jericho and walked over these remains where the old Jericho walls used to be. This place is full of thousands of years of history!

Here I am walking through the remains of the old city of Jericho. The desert is so much like this, dust and rocks for miles and the intense sun beating down on you. It's such an intense feeling!

Wow! What a wonderful blessing God has given you to actually be there, walking where Jesus walked! That's amazing! I'm sure tons of Bible stories run through your mind everyday as you live life in the Holy Land. We love you and are thinking and praying for you. Bring us a nice souvenir!...like a nice blanket or Bible verse in Hebrew. :) Keep posting.
