Special Day Today

This is a special day for two reasons:

• First and foremost… Happy Birthday to my daughter today! Talk about musings… On this day I reflect on her arrival from India…a 3lb 12 oz baby girl.  Those first few months of motherhood, though tired and stretched… I would do this all over again.  Thank you, Alyssa for being such a blessing in my life. 

• Secondly, today, Pastor Dave, senior pastor of Salem First Nazarene Church,  along with his wife Jerri, are on their way to Israel.  Check out the itinerary!

• Just about a year ago, my husband and I took that tour.  The sights, the sounds, the food can only be experienced in Israel.  To observe the villages nestled in the hillsides, observe Bedouin camps, to rise above the Dead Sea to the Desert Fortress of the Masada and to be a part of the activity at Old Jerusalem, your heart will long to once again return to the land of Jesus.  If you have the opportunity to experience Israel, GO!
