Shalom! We have arrived in Israel.

Shalom! We have arrived in Israel. Today we toured Tel Aviv, also stopped at Bet Shemesh, the site where David fought with Goliath. We walked through the marketplace in Joppa, the port where Jonah boarded the ship to Tarshish. We went through the Valley of Sorek well know for the story of Samson and Delilah. Riding through the Valley of Aijalon we were reminded of the story of Joshua fighting the Amorites, the battle raged on and the light of day was fading when Joshua prayed to God to make the sun stand still. Finally we rode through Emmaus where our Lord talked with two men by the way.

It is absolutely beautiful here,between 70 and 80 degrees. The presence of the Lord is here, wish you were too.

Praise be to the Lord, the God Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Psa 41:13
