Jerusalem, the Journey Begins

We finished packing after lunch today. The Subaru Outback was overloaded with the children’s luggage even before we added ours. We drove to Allentown and unloaded at Kezia and Titus’s house. The school children will be staying with them for the week.

We continued to Newark. Our suitcase was half a pound overweight. For those of you on a diet, that would be close enough. But the attendant said it wouldn’t fly. We moved a bag of smoked almonds to Julia’s backpack. Then in security Julia’s backpack was singled out for a hand search. We were relieved to find that the bag of smoked almonds and the can of mixed nuts were not explosives in disguise.

Through security…

After a long walk in concourse C3, we found gate C138, but it was cordoned off until closer to boarding time. We met a few people on their way to a Perry Stone tour in Israel. We swapped stories with them as we waited.

Invitation to Jerusalem

Hello friends. We (Julia and Andrew) are planning to travel to Jerusalem next week. You are invited to travel with us by following this blog. We will not be posting to social media with every blog post, so follow the blog if you’d like to get the daily updates.

We enjoyed The Land immensely on our first trip. So much of the culture and history relates to Bible times. We plan to learn more about Jerusalem, and Jesus’ time there.

Here are some pictures we’d like to share from an earlier trip.

Why Israel?

The land of Israel is fascinating. There is so much variety in a tiny country; such a variety of landscapes, peoples, and cultures.

It is the land of the Bible. Visiting the sites of Bible stories brings them to life in 3D. Jesus walked here. God’s covenants with people were made here.

I hope to share pictures of His Land through this blog. Feel free to follow if you’re interested.
