Morning Fellowship
Early this morning (5:00am), I arose and prepped to go out to see what ended up being the “non-” sunrise. Too hazy. Jon (Covell) and I hiked up a hill in anticipation of the sunrise. During the hour we were out, we saw at least 3 foxes, silver or gray camels, dogs and
Early this morning (5:00am), I arose and prepped to go out to see what ended up being the “non-” sunrise. Too hazy. Jon (Covell) and I hiked up a hill in anticipation of the sunrise. During the hour we were out, we saw at least 3 foxes, silver or gray camels, dogs and
some birds. What a joy it was to talk & pray together in the early hours of the day. We prayed for each other’s futures - primarily within the context of GEM-YM.
We also saw a very cool beetle, grass hopper and checked out the clover that covered the hillsides.
The place were we were was indeed an oasis. Check out this picture.
As we traveled, I noticed the Acacia trees that Jesus must have occasionally sat under during His 40-day wilderness experience! It’s really dry, dusty and barren here!
En Gedi
We hiked up to one of the water falls where David & his mighty men hid out from Saul when he was searching out David to kill him. What an amazing place to see! Fresh, cool water coming out of this dry, barren desert! And to imagine David & Saul and many others having th

eir meals here. Hiding. Wondering. Worrying? WOW! Here’s a pic of the “medium” waterfalls - (we weren’t allowed to go up to the highest falls).
The Dead Sea
What can I say more about this? It’s incredible. I could float standing up! It’s 350 meters below sea level. To drink a 1/4 cup of the water is to invite death! It was nasty tasting and did sting a bit more than typical salt water in the eye! There is a lot of mineral content and there are oils or something that make your skin feel slippery. Of course, I did the Dead Sea mud bath - it’s supposed to make your complexion wonderful! I hope to have a photo to stick in here before long - Richard (from India) took one of Thomas and me in our mud baths!
Jeff Kreiser sat next to me at dinner tonight. He had a lot of positive affirmation for house-church planting. Seems to be a good resource for that.
It’s 11:33 pm. BEDTIME!!!
