Dear Friends,As I was leaving home, a friend described pilgrimage as a journey of the heart. I like that way of describing our trip. My heart is often full these days!
Today I'd also like to share some pictures. I'm having ahard time getting them lined up on the page, but here they are: First, I'd like to show you our group leaders: Trisha Tull and David Hester from Louisville Presbyterian Seminary. They introduced themselves to you at the top of the blog, but here's what they look like, below. (David Hester is on the left, with David Lawrence, a trip participant.)
Then there's Bruce Barkhauer (top right) and Amariah McIntosh (on Arbel Cliff, above the Sea of Galilee). Lots of us have cameras, but they agreed to be our trip photographers.
I also wanted to show you some of the stunning beauty of this land -- just a sampling. When we visited the Hermon Springs Nature Resever yesterday, I kept finding myself singing the spiritual "Like a tree planted by the water, we shall not be moved..." It is hot and so dry here right now, and everywhere we are reminded of the need for water and our thirst both for water and for the Living God. We have been touring sites around the Sea of Galilee, including a boat ride today across the lake. Often we turn and find the water beckoning us to remember our thirst, and to come to the waters.
Many blessings as you travel with us and support our pilgrimage with prayer.
