Shalom! A greeting from The Holy Land

And why this year I got to go through spring forward TWICE

Two days of travel through The Holy Land and my heart and mind are already so full of new adventure.

I have a special greeting for you from The Sea Of Galilee, but am having trouble getting it to load here. Please go to either of my Facebook pages, Melinda Mayo or Melinda Mayo KATV. You should be able to click on either of these links.

Meantime, I think I’ve taken about 300 pictures in 2 days, so I will share just a couple favorites here and much more to come!

Yesterday, we began in The Valley Of Wind And Doves. It is the path that Jesus would have walked to travel from Nazareth to Galilee where he called his first disciples and began his ministry. It would have taken three days. I can hardly describe the beautiful wild flowers, the birds, the nearby stream, and most of all the peace.

And while we have seen some magnificent churches, I was most touched by a tiny synagogue in Nazareth. With what is believed to be the House Of Mary nearby, scholars agree Jesus would likely have come to this tiny room to worship and read the holy scrolls.

As our small group sat, prayed, and sang we all agreed, “Surely, the presence of The Lord is in this place.” It was the first time many of us cried on this trip. Probably not the last.

  4. You may be getting a little homesick by now. We have cool front pushing in with small amount of rain expected for the weekend. The kids have gone back to school after spring break.
