Traveling in Israel

I got a super nice note from my cousin Neil whose daughter, Haley took a trip around Israel, the Greek Isles and a few other places.  It got me to thinking how great of a thing it would be to be able to go over there with the family.  I was there just briefly for work, but going on a tour of the historical places in the bible would be just an awesome experience.  I had been reading about it my whole life, but seeing it in context is an amazing thing.  I remember driving past Mount Tabor on the way to work one morning from where I was staying on top of Mt. Carmel in Haifa to a little industrial town on the outskirts of Nazareth.  Our bible study a week or two before my trip had been about Deborah and Barak and their fight against Sisera near Mt. Tabor.  The historical nature of the bible became a whole lot more real for me that day.  The stuff written in the bible really happened in a real place at a time in the distant past.  I am really glad Haley got to go do that.  I hope I get to take my family someday, too.
