Wednesday Feb 25 / Day 9 - Jerusalem I think today was our busiest day–at least that’s what my feet are telling me! We started bright and early and only sat down for a few minutes at a time for our devotional times and to eat a quick lunch. Although we were go-go-going every minute,...

Saturday Feb 21 / Day 5 - Galilee Boat Ride Today we awoke to windy weather and whitecaps on the Sea of Galilee! Our morning plan was to go on a boat ride across the water, so we wondered whether we'd get a sense of what the disciples experienced before Jesus calmed the wind and waves. Before...
