It was a windy and choppy morning on the lake. Wanting to see what the sunrise on the sea of Galilee, I set my alarm just before sunrise. I do appreciate the thoughtfulness of my host. Trust me on this one, I’ve been baptized with fire sleeping in the same room with people who snore… Greg, Steve, are you reading this? I was willing to live a little knowing the risk that my host might snore… I guess, Nir must have thought the same thing about me…”I bet he snores… I better get separate rooms. I was concerned he might snore all night. I have always shared lodging with others wherever I traveled. (A side note: It wasn’t until we arrived at the Y, and my host, Nir, who handled our lodging, did I know we would each have our own room. If you must find yourself in Tiberias, be sure to stay at the Y. We stayed at the YMCA hostel, which I must say was very, VERY, nice. Although, it is not called the sea of Galilee there in Israel… It is, Kineret. I believe my last post left me with having clean clothes and resting on the sea of Galilee. Thank you to my friend Daniel who has explained a lot of Christian Orthodoxy to me. The things I know know I wish I had known then. The things I wish I had thought of when I was there. It seems as if Israel was only a dream now. It’s now May, I’m 38 and in a few short days my oldest daughter will turn 13. My apologizes to those blogs I’ve enjoyed and have not shared in my blog role.
So I continue to learn this idea of blogging from many talented folks. I realize in these blogs, hope is winning and Christ is our strength. My wife keeps track of many great stories of lives with struggles and hope that carries them through. In contrast to the junk brought forth in the nightly news, it’s nice to read great stories such as, confessions of a CF husband. There are so many wonderful stories in blogland.
My hope is those who find this today are encouraged somehow in my ramblings to write their thoughts. I imagine my children’s, children someday visiting these words and finding encouragement and inspiration. My thanks to all those who have stuck with me, adjusting feeders, etc… I do wish to make this a better habit.
