Today we went about 22 miles northeast of Jerusalem into the hill country. We went up Mt. Gerizim. As you look across Mt Gerizim you see another mountain(big hill), Mt. Ebal. In the valley below was Shechem and the well at Sychar.
These places are filled with history: read Deut. 27-28 and John 4 for example.
Here are some pictures from today:
Mt Ebal
One of 742 living Samaritans - in line to be the next high priest(the one with the red hat!)
Ever present Israeli soldiers.I leave for 3 days to the Negev, the dead sea and the desert wilderness. I will check back in on Sunday/Monday.
Grace and peace to you.
Dear Jamie - Thank you for sharing all of these experiences and pictures with us. It is our special opportunity to share all of this with our pastor.
