Israel Updates.
Photos to come.It will be good to have Joe,Sah and Xshabby back home.Sue is up there now picking up,connecting and helping(a labour of love).Went to the Syrian and Jordanian borders last Friday-also visited Jericho(the world's oldest city and site of which significant biblical event?).This week we have lectures on the bible from a Jewish perspective and Islam 2 as well as field trips to Massada,Dead Sea,Qumran,Negev(which I noticed was shelled last week)and Ein Kerem.It includes a desert experience and interesting dining provisions.And Damio we have had filafels but once.Jan is enjoying the whole experience a lot.She has assumed Sue's traditional nagging role(so I'll feel at home)and treats me like a camel(carrying a huge water supply).Temps are on the higher side of average but still OK.Went to the alleged site of Pentecost last week and had meaningful prayers and song.Much to share at the compulsory power point presentation at Chrissy Lots of love to everyone Glenn

Answer to trivia question: "Joshua fit the battle of J...". Islam claims Jesus as a prophet but Christian churches don't see it the other way around. It sounds like a sensational experience. I'll probably be the only one who sits through the ENTIRE power point presentation at Christmas but I'll look forward to it. Where's Sue?
What does "up there" mean? Stradbroke? Lismore?
Grant....Full marks.The other answer was Zacchaus and the sycamore tree.Sue is at Straddie and getting on really well with Xshabby.Missed Massada today.There was a security scare with a group of Jodanians illegally crossing the border at night.The Israelis torched the area and started a bush fire.Ahhhh!I still intend going evenif under my own steam.
