While Mark, the leader and organizer of our tour, has been very helpful in letting us know what we should bring to Israel, I still struggle with the packing part of this endeavor. My stack of stuff has way too many various articles of “what if” clothes – you know in case of blizzard, etc. The pile of electronic chords to connect cameras, phones, and my computer make it look like I robbed a Radio Shack. So tomorrow I tackle the stack before it goes into the suitcase. Probably have to leave the beach ball behind!
As I joked with several people at church about what I was planning to take on the trip, I found myself actually thinking about what I would be doing this week – going to the land where Jesus walked. Then, I started thinking about how He didn’t worry about stuff like packing. He didn’t have a lot of earthly junk. He simply told his disciples “foxes have holes, birds have nests, but the the Son of Man has no where to lay His head” (Matthew 8:20) Wow! That’ll shape your packing philosophy!
Still can’t believe the incredible journey Lesli & I are about to take! We leave LAX tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 11:00 a.m.

I am so excited for both of you. Having visited Israel a year ago I know how impactful it will be for you. My son also visited this year and came back ready for the Lord to work in him. Will you be visiting Musalaha Ministries? Give them our love from Karen Walker and my son Joshua. I can’t wait to hear your message on September 20th. Shalom and be safe.
Why jesus allows this sort of thing to continue is a mystery.
