Our Previous Trip to Israel in May 2014

The Sea of Galilee

On May 17th we started off on our 27th “Holy Land Tour”.  This trip was going to be difficult because I did not have my dad with us.  Actually, I wouldn’t even have been on this trip if my dad were still around. In December of 2013 he passed away.  At that point, he and…
