We started off the trip in a fun fashion thanks to super traveler Kristie Shoulders. Even though she isn't on the trip her mother, Peg Lent, is and brought along a fun trivia game that we all got to be successful at. David Munn was the winner of the grand prize and appreciated his granola bars on the trip over.
The trip over was very smooth. We arrived at our resort on the Sea of Galilee at 7:30pm, we were tired after a 22 hour trip, but quickly bounced back after a delicious supper. Kevin Snyder approved the place after his first plate of food. We were able to try things we hadn't before like braised fennel and baby eggplant.
Thank you for all of your prayers. Tomorrow we start off with a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee and will end up with a renewal of our baptism vows in the Jordan River, and much in between. We are planning on getting back to enjoy a sunset on the Sea of Galilee.
Sounds fabulous already....prayers to all of you. You're missing yet another snowstorm in Wooster tonight!Thanks for keeping us connected David.
ReplyDeletePeg Lent.....ever the fun hostess! Glad you made it safely, and even enjoyed it!

Head and ALL! lol God bless you all! Take pictures mom! Love, Kristie
ReplyDeleteSending our Love and Prayers to all. Fr. Chris has arranged the viewing of "Babette's Feast" tonight so we can answer the reflection questions in the Eucharist study. We will be thinking of you as we enjoy our popcorn. Chairman David...a blurb was in the Daily Record this morning about the Lenten Mission...way to go! All is well here. Enjoy and come back Renewed. mz
ReplyDeleteGreetings from the land of non-global warming to all of you hearty pilgrims! We were praying for safe travels for all and glad to hear things are going well. It is a true act of spiritual love that you are praying for us here, as well. We are in ecstasy just thinking about all that you will encounter. Peg, I see that smile of yours on the picture posted, and I'm sure that means you're trying to think of a way to bring back something living from the Dead Sea for me.(gross is optional) Don't forget to come back! Blessing to you all, Muffinette
ReplyDeleteThere must be something about you guys going to Israel that equals a snowstorm for us! Enjoy the warm weather and try not to think about the -6 degree weather you will come back to. :) Praying you have a safe and renewing trip. Love, Marjorie
