Gates to Megiddo

These are the original gates to the city if Megiddo. This was Salomon's town and has played a pivotal role in many battles. It has been held, defended, and taken over by many different civilizations. It's a strategic military point which intersects five ancient roads that enter the valley. Oh, and by the way, some believe the valley of Megiddo us where the battle if Armageddon will take place.

Israel Pics

A picture tells a thousand words (or more!)

Double Rainbow!

The brightest rainbow I've ever seen! Taken from the balcony of our hotel room. This is the Sea of Galilee. We are in Tiberius. The rainbow is shining/landing on Capernaum!

Synagogue in Capernaum

The synagogue in Capernaum. Jesus taught here and we walked here!!!

Caesarea Philippi

On of my favorite spots so far. Jesus shares His identity as Messiah with the disciples here. He also told them the the gates of hell will not be able to defend against the Church!

Christmas Viewing Pleasure

Okay. It's been since February since I've posted anything. But I am feeling inspired tonight.



Here's the deal. I get home from running a few errands after church. Jorden had a performance of her play tonight, so I am home alone. I turn on the tube to see what's on. I notice that NBC is showing It's a Wonderful Life... a traditional Christmas classic!! I mean, people know this movie. They love this movie. It is a part of many family Christmas traditions for many.

So, you would think that other networks would run something to try and rival it a bit, wouldn't you? That's when I discovered what ABC was showing. Of all the great Christmas movies to choose from -- A Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th Street, Scrooge, Christmas Story, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Elf, Christmas Vacation, The Grinch... and so on...

ABC chose to feature Surviving Christmas starring none other than the worst actor of our generation, Ben Affleck.




Good game ABC. I think we know who will win tonight's ratings. Maybe next year you can try Ernest Saves Christmas.
