Jesus the Pilgrim

I've come to the point, now that I have been here a week, that the days are beginning to run together. I am trying desperately to hang on to every place and memory, between my journal - blog - photos and voice recorder I am beginning to feel a little saturated.

The view from the top of Mt Tabor

We began our day taking a death-defying minibus ride up the side of Mount Tabor, which is believed to be the place of the Transfiguration (Luke 9:28-35). It was a hazy day, so we sadly couldn't see much of the plain below.

Then it was over to Nabot's fields (1 Kings 21:1-16) where we were asked to consider power and authority. We left the Galilee region and hopped over to Jericho for lunch and shopping at a glass shop. Our final site was the church of Mary and Martha in Bethany, where Jesus is said to have visited. We read John 11:1-54 and reflected on those we love who have passed from our lives too quickly. 

Back to the college, and a good night's sleep. Blessings, Peace, Salaam and Shalom.
