We finally got settled in. Our Boeing 777 was broke. So after going through a second security screening and getting borded, we had to get off the plane. Thanks for the prayers. We waited in the gate area for another 777 to arrive. it took us 8 hours. So we finally get to Israel after an 8 hour wait and another 12 hours in the air for the flight. During the flight Pastor Bobo and others and me had a hot and heavy game of inflight trivia.
International travel is something. Each seat has its own video screen. You can listen to music, see tv shows, movies, etc. Food was ok. I had some Santa Fe chicken for dinner and 4 cheese pizza for breakfast. Played some video solitare, listened to some classical music and tried some other CDs on the screen.
We arrive around midnight Israel time. We take a bus to our retreat center in Gallilee (2 hours). Long day of travel, huh?
Well,no complaints from me, I am in the holyland. Our retreat center is on the Sea of Gallilee. Beautiful. After around three hours of sleep, we are on our way to Capernaum. WE see the sight of a synagogue, built around the time of Jesus, the house of Peter and an olive press. WE then travel to the Cliffs of Arba to see the Gallilean plains and the geography. Wow, what a sight to behold.
As this trip is about renewal, we spend time in prayer, Bible study and reflection. We end with dinner and time of fellowship. Keep me in your prayers.
Tomorrow we go to Nazareth and Sapphora.

Wow! I am sure it is very exciting being in the Holy Land. Sounds like you had a long trip, but I know it is worth every bit of it. All is well on the homefront. I pray for a good turn out for the march tomorrow.
Enjoy the experience and be blessed!
