The Trip of a Lifetime

This will be the trip of a lifetime on many levels. It will be the first time Josh and I have been on another continent, the first time we have been to the "Holy Land" and the first time we have taken a trip of this distance just the two of us. We are very excited and full of aniticipation! Our thanks to two wonderful individuals, Amy and Johnnie (our bosses) for giving us the opportunity to take this trip, especially during a very busy time at work! Our thanks also, to our dear friends, the Sheridan's, who extended the invitation for us to make this trip with them. What we know about Jesus comes from the Holy Scriptures, but in making this journey we will be able to blend the biblical and historical accounts of New Testament times and see the world that Jesus knew. We will gain new insights into the Bible and have an enriched understanding and appreciation of what the Bible tells us. It is my hope that we can give you a little taste of our experiences through this blog. Join us as we cross the Sea of Galilee, stand on the Mount of Beatitiudes, ascend Masada's lofty perch, pass through Jericho and walk the ancient streets of the Old City of Jerusalem!
