Israel Trip

Well, we are counting down the days until our trip to the Holy Land. It is a trip of a lifetime for Jon and I.
Here is a list of some of the wonderful things we get to do:
  • Boat ride on the Sea of Galilee
  • Float in the Dead Sea
  • Visit Crucifixion site and take the Lord's Supper
  • Baptize in the Jordan River
  • Old/New Jerusalem
  • Tour the oldest city in the world, Jericho

Okay, needless to say, I can't wait!! Thanks to everyone for your love and support!

Friends

As we go through life, we make friends and lose friends. I have found that it is harder to make new "good" friends the older you get. My biggest mistake is being too self-consumed....dropping good friends when I have a big event in my life. Looking back and asking myself, why did I do that?
There are people that I would like to reconnect with....I will be praying for that to happen.
