So, here we are with a Sunday night without something to do... finally a moment to sit down and post some pictures on the blog from Israel. I was just thinking about it yesterday. I find myself actually missing Israel and our trip we took. It was just that great. I told John last night that when we talk about Christ or the difference Jesus makes in our lives my heart emotionally warms to the thought of my Saviour (yes, I know that's the old English way to spell Saviour - but I love to spell it that way because of the 'our' at the end, He's our Saviour). I just sat down and looked through some of these and I thought it would be an appropro time to finally post some, considering we're finally settled at home and getting back into routine. These may be random, but they are some of my favorites - Enjoy!

Bethany,
I loved the pictures! It looks like you had such a wonderful time and learned so much. I do bet you think of things a little differently and such after you have been over there and toured the different places. Thanks so much for posting them. Looking forward to hearing more stories about your trip when you come and visit in a week and a half!!! (We loved playing mario-cart with you guys tonight...made me miss being there in VA tonight though as we all talked on the phone together after wards...Love ya!)
Great pictures, Bethany! You and John looked so happy and excited to be there in Israel -- what an awesome thought to actually be where our Lord was, and you were able to experience that! We can't wait to see you soon!
Love, Mom
