Geography Field Trip
The first student field trip of the semester is called the Geography Field Trip. The main purpose is to help the students gain a better understanding of the geography of the Holy Land and how it is closely linked to the scriptures. This field strips stays within 15 miles of Jerusalem but has some of the most important areas described in the Bible.
We were so grateful to be invited to join the students because as we anticipate Todd and Tami coming this week and future guest....it helps us in our understanding of the area so we can be the "perfect tour guides". We look forward to your bookings!!!
So we are enjoying this lovely afternoon, SITTING ON THE GRASS, just enjoying the spirit and having this great appreciation of being in the Holy Land and the blessing of listening to Dr. Skinner give his profound remarks on the geography of the Holy Land and bringing it to life as he weaves the scriptures and Bible stories together to enhance our knowledge and understanding .....when out from the bushes comes a FURRY, LITTLE FRIEND! Now anyone that knows my husband, knows how allergic he is to cats......I was raised with lovely, little felines, but we have never had any our whole married (43 yrs!) life. Also, as the Physician here at the Jerusalem Center he had just given an orientation talk to all of the students and Professors that they should avoid playing or even touching the wild cats (because of infections) that are around the Center and all over Jerusalem. Well, needless to say, for us it was hard to keep from laughing out loud while Dr. Skinner was giving his talk.
This was the most friendly little kitty.....just wanted to snuggle up with Bro. Allen..........
I tell you........it was one funny experience!I will need to do a post just on Cats......they are everywhere in Israel....we can count on one hand how many dogs we have seen but even around the Jerusalem Center there must be a dozen or so that live on the grounds.
