Walking into the Pages
We did not visit places and mention verses. We opened the Book and walked into its pages. At every site we read the passage while standing on the ground it happened on, because the Bible was not written in a library. It was written on a port, a cliff, a lake, a river, a desert, a city of stone.
When you stand in the place and hear the words, the page gains a third dimension. The Bible becomes 3D. The Bible becomes alive. And it does not stay behind at the airport. Forever now, when you open the Book, Jaffa will have a harbor smell, the Galilee will have wind on it, and Jerusalem will be gold stone under your own feet.

The film is here to watch and the book is here to read. Everything else, the decks and every daily letter, is in the folder. Share any of it with anyone who prayed for you while you were away.

Three Things That Outlive the Trip
The NIPs. The world runs on VIPs. God runs on Not Important People. Ruth the foreigner, David the forgotten son, Peter the fisherman, Matthew the taxman. In the only book that matters, the NIPs are the main characters.
Prayer is the opposite of worry. To pray is to meditate on what you want. To worry is to meditate on what you don't. Since none of us knows what is coming, there is no vacuum and no doing nothing. You either worry or you pray. Let your will be done.
You are not tourists, you are pilgrims. And pilgrimage began while Jesus was still walking this land. Three times a year, on foot, uphill.
Join the Wall of Watchmen
This journey does not have to end at the airport. There is a community of people around the world who pray for this Land every week, and who receive the letters I write from the Golan. You belong in it now. Come and stand on the wall with us.
