Israel Day 5

I can't believe it's day 5 already. Over half way thru our time here. I don't want to go back.
We headed to Galilee and a new hotel room.

Possibility of being Zaccheus's Tree. It's at least an old Sycamore :)
I'll try to remember later to write what we were told about the story - a lot of new info to give a different perspective.



The likely crossing of the Israelites coming into the Promised Land and where Jesus got baptized/anointed.


The Garden Tomb... A must visit. A wonderful garden and a great message. The hole on the upper right of the door is where they left a spot for the spirit to leave the body (which they believed happened on the 3rd day after the body died)


And the best message of all:

  1. Thanks so much for posting and keeping us informed. I love looking each day to see what you have done. Didn't know about the little window for the spirit to escape. Very interesting. So glad you can experience this.
