I’ve just come home from a day with some friends investigating ancient sites and churches around the Sea of Galilee, and I just have to write it down. It reminds me of the old joke, “do you know why Israeli men pre-ejaculate?” “So they can run home and tell their friends.” And so I am pretty exhausted but I’m pleased to tell you that there is always a great deal to learn about this country, and we learned some pretty interesting things today.
We started at the moshav of Arnun looking down at the Sea of Galilee and listening to a lecture about the life of Jesus punctuated and illustrated by music by Bach, Schubert, Mozart etc. To find in the music I have always known references to the places around the Galilee I have always known was an amazing experience in itself. But to go out afterward to Capernaum, to the Mount of Beatitudes, to Tabha (where the miracle of loaves and fishes took place) was integrating, enlightening, and significant. Pictures tomorrow.
