Thursday, March 15th, 2007

“The only thing chicken about Israel is the soup.” —Bob Hope SNOW! Yes, I awoke to snow in Jerusalem. As many times as I have been to Israel, I have never experienced snow. Quite a lovely site. As I traveled to the internet cafe this morning, I noticed all sorts of umbrellas. All colors, shapes […]

Ps 8:1 “Oh Lord, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth” Will and I went to the Galilee Friday and returned to Jerusalem on Sunday. I love Spring in Israel, and when you get out of Jerusalem and see the mountains up in the Galilee, you have no idea just how […]

There must be a sermon somewhere in this

Friday, March 9th, 2007

Shabbat Shalom, Yesterday, I walked from my B&B to the old city. I was assured by my friend at the desk that I could do it, so I thought if I get too tired I will just hop on the bus or get a cab. I ended up going a different way and for awhile […]

It was because people thought he was the weather man

Shalom from Israel. Today is promising to be another gorgeous Spring day in Jerusalem. I want to finish up Tuesday afternoon and the adventures I had in the old city before I get to the activities of Wednesday. I spent about an hour talking with Moshe at Shorashim. We solved all the problems of the […]

It is nice to take time to see things

Another beautiful cool Spring morning. After the wonderful breakfast buffet on the patio, I wandered toward the old city. I want to check on some friends and do some computer work. Yesterday, downtown or on Ben Yehuda street as I was walking around, I heard my name called. I looked up and there was Pamela. […]

Grocery store day

Monday, March 5th, 2007

I ended up going to bed about 8pm last night and slept until 7am this morning. I could not believe it. I must have really been tired! The B&B has a new breakfast buffet out in the courtyard and it so pleasant. I must have had two or three helpings of the best egg salad […]

My 33rd trip to Israel!

Shalom from Jerusalem, Whew! What a trip to Israel this time. I left Texas at noon on Friday, and arrived in Tel Aviv at 3:30am Sunday morning. This is my 33rd trip to Israel and it is the first time I have had a flight cancel on me. Got to Zurich just fine, but had […]

My last night in Israel

Monday, November 27th, 2006

Daniel 2:20,21 “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His. And he changes the times and the seasons: He removes kings and raises up kings: He gives wisdom and knowledge to those who have understanding.” I cannot believe this is my last night in Israel. All my senses […]

I love walking in the sunshine

Psalms 136:1, “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” There was something so nice about our Thanksgiving being on Shabbat.  Saturday dawned cool and quiet.  I am always amazed at how things stop and slow down and how quiet it gets on Shabbat—hardly any cars on the […]

I guess I am ready to cook tomorrow

Psalms: 25:20,21 “Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You.” Shabbat Shalom To not be a holiday in Israel, I have been busy. Will and I went to a concert at the Jerusalem Symphony […]
