Sailing on Faith

Today we sailed on Faith on the Sea of Galilee. Being naturally drawn to water, | absolutely loved it. I could picture Jesus talking to the disciples, leading them out to the water. The water itself drew me in. About half way across the lake, the boat stopped and we read the story of Jesus walking on water to the disciples. We then sang the The Lord's Prayer as an echo and also sang several Hebrew songs. Our boat captain, Daniel, sang Amazing Grace in English and Hebrew. I could have stayed on the lake all day. I am totally amazed at how the scriptures have come alive for me here. I am reading them with fresh, exciting eyes, and have spent each day trying to drink in as much as possible and to seal it all in my memory. My prayers are also with my family and my congregation back home.
