Well, first things first, the Judean Wilderness is directly east of the Mount of Olives and in the West […] Read more

– Wednesday, February 3, 2011 – Another great day in Israel. We spent the majority of our time in and around the Old City of Jerusalem. We toured the Western or Wailing Wall area and the Western Wall Tunnel. This is the most sacred site in current Judiasm as it’s the only accessibly remaining sites […] Read more

– Tuesday, February 2, 2011 – So, the time to write a big blog is unfortunately just not available.  Our days are 10+ hours of touring, so when we get back to the hotel, it’s very difficult to go in-depth with details. However, I feel I should add details and descriptions so that those of […] Read more

God’s Chisel – The Skit Guys I came across this video today while surfing the web & devouring some of mom’s homemade Italian spaghetti sauce & pasta for lunch (it was so good I had to share that fact).  Anyways, pretty wild how God’s timing works sometimes.  This video comes just as I’ve been doing […] Read more

As I was driving to work today, I was listening to the newly popular radio station on 98.3 called KLOVE. KLOVE used to be on 105.5 but recently bought out the better reaching, clearer channel, 98.3 from Froggy country radio (don’t worry, you can still catch Froggy on 104.3!). If you haven’t tuned in yet […] Read more
