Since Hollie won't be here when we go as a class to the Sea of Galilee, Justin and I got to go with Dave and Hollie and tour as much of Israel as we could in a 3 day span. We went from the tip of the Read Sea in Eilat and traveled up to go swim in the Dead Sea (Sooo fun!.. it feels like you are flying when you lay on your belly and float), to Masada, En Ghedi to the waterfalls where David hid from Saul, and then up to the Sea of Galilee. We got to Galilee and stayed in Tiberius and went to Capernaum to see the Synagogue where Jesus first started His ministry, Peter's house, the place where Jesus cast the demons into the swine at the steepest part of the mountain, the mount of Beattitudes, the Jordan River, where Peter proclaimed Jesus the Christ and saw the mount of where we think is the mount of transfiguration from Matthew 17! Wow so much! It was such a blessing.. and to think that Jesus walked on that water.. the thing that stood out to me the most is that the Galilee is 3 miles by 11 miles and as we drove all the way around it, anywhere that you stood on the side you could have been able to witness a man walking across the water! How cool would it have been to be out one early morning around the lake and to look up seeing a man walking on water to a boat!! Ca-razy!
