Journal of A Holyland Pilgrim

A number of years ago it was my high privilege to journey to Israel for 2 weeks of travel off the beaten path. I had been several times before on a tour. This time the LORD would guide us. My friend John Foster and I rented a little 3 cylinder Renault and off we went from Tel Aviv to Galilee and then onto Jerusalem.

"I will bring back my exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them," says the LORD your God.

Over the course of the next posts I will transcribe my journey into this wonderful country. Shalom!

Kennedy International Airport

Queens, New York

We are aboard a Delta Flight bound for Tel Aviv, Israel. We will stay one night in Tel Aviv, several in Galilee and a week in Jerusalem. We plan on visiting some unique places, not seen on a regular tour. At 9:30pm we flew out of Gate 7 into the sky on our way to the most incredible land on the earth.

O LORD I pray You will direct our paths! Today is Dad and Mom's 40th wedding anniversary. They are in the White Mountains of New Hampshire celebrating.

There is a real sense of peace about this trip. The LORD's Hand is upon it.
