Day 2

Today was a great day. We started at Mt Carmel (in the first picture) where Elijah called down fire from heaven (1 Kings 18). We sang "The Days of Elijah" as I stood on the edge of the mountain. It was an amazing moment. It is phenomenal to have context for some of the great moments recorded in the Bible.

After that we went to Caesarea by the Mediterranean Sea. It was beautiful! Mom and I waded in the water a little and enjoyed the clear blue water. I want to vacation on the Mediterranean Sea someday. We sat in the ampitheater where Paul defended himself in Acts 26. Kay Arthur taught about what it means to be grafted in as Gentiles.

Tomorrow is a neat down. We are going to Megiddo where Armageddon is to occur. Apparently we will have lots of teaching on the book of Revelation. After that we are getting baptized in the Jordan River (the River Jesus was baptized in- Luke 3:21-22). It should be an incredible day.

We are having a great time, although still slightly jet-lagged. I want to take some time this evening to enjoy our location- on the Sea of Galilee. It is beautiful!
