Jackie here...Today we said goodbye to the Sea of Galilee and headed south through the Jordan valley with the country of Jordan always in view on our left. Our first stop was Beth Shem, an ancient Roman city. A man was singing in the amphitheatre and brought tears to our eyes. We stopped at Qumran and saw the digs where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. Then as we drove along the western shore of the Dead Sea we stopped at En Gedi and saw the caves where David hid from Saul. Words do not do justice to the range of emotions we all feel in a day, walking on this ancient soil and seeing Scripture come alive.
Hey...Sue here...this is absolutely unbelievable. I will never read the bible in the same way...having a clearer picture of places that are being talked about...touching ancient walls where saints (and ain'ts) have touched...walking on cobblestone paths that were tread on by people we read about...it's been totally unreal. So eye -opening. Wonderful!
