Like Coming Home!

On a previous post I mentioned how Israel gives
a coming home feeling to its visitors.

I grew up learning the Bible. My heroes were David and Moses and Joseph and Elijah and of course Jesus.







I remember reading I and II Chronicles and Psalms and the rest of the Bible as a young man. I went to Sunday School each week and heard about things that happened thousands of years before in the Holy Land, never thinking that one day my feet would stand in Jerusalem.

I first entered Israel from the Sinai. What a sight it was! I can still recall that ride in. I came from Egypt. The border guard at the point of entry asked me if I enjoyed Egypt. I said, "Yes." She replied, "Then you are going to love Israel!" She was right.

I heard a number of people who had visited say, "I want to go back." I would always think, "If I got to go once that would be enough." I really believed that. My experience the first time changed all of that. Almost immediately my heart was being drawn to go again.

From Israel With Love and With Love for Israel!
