Tony and I are in Jordan today. We saw Mount Nebo, the oldest map in the middle East – a mosaic on the floor of a church – and the place where John the Baptist was beheaded. Tomorrow we go to Petra. Have a great Lord’s Day. We will think of you.
We have had two great days of touring. Though this is my 3rd trip, I continue to learn more. Though I have been there before, we went to different parts of tel Dan and the former city of Capernaum today. Again I learn so much. I counted off the steps between the synagogue of Capernaum and the Sea. Less than 120 yards.
What a great Lord’s Day we had. I thoroughly loved the preaching of both Dr. Von and Pastor Rory. I look forward to hearing more from Rory in June.
Tony McCoy and I are safely in Irael. We got into our hotel room early enough to put our feet in the Med before dinner. Off to Caesarea – Megiddo – Carmel and Nazareth tomorrow.
Dr. Marty Von and his wife Susan are our guests tomorrow. Dr. Von has ministered at Northland Baptist Bible College for 30 years. He will be following up our series on the Home with some good preaching on relationships in Sunday School and the morning service.
A few nights ago, I received a text message from Cynthia. She had seen on the news that there had been a serious tornado in Oklahoma where my parents live. I tried to call them the following morning, but no one answered. A couple of hours later, though, I was able to connect with them. My mom told me that she could hear the storm and decided to look outside.
