Stories from the Park

Two nights at Kruger National Park were incredible. We took a night ride on the second night and one of the animals we saw was a large male lion. He didn't seem too impressed with our bright lights or noise.

African safari

We have finally made it to the great Kruger Park! This place is incredible. This evening we are sleeping in an air conditioned hut in a compound inside the park. We've seen at least 18 species of wildlife today. I can't give you all the pictures but these are a few of them...

Snow on Mt. Bental

I told you it was snowing on Mt. Bental last week. Here is the proof.

A Great Hike

A requirement for all Israeli tour guides is to take an updater field trip at least once every year. Last week I decided to take the one I needed for the year by hiking Nahal Amud. That name is a clue. You see, the Hebrew word Amud means pillar. Nahal is a valley or river bed. In this case it was a narrow and winding canyon that took us to a huge natural pillar. The four hour hike was incredible and the natural pillar... well, take a look! It's fabulous!

Praying for Rain

Up until a couple weeks ago, it has been another very dry winter in Israel. We need rain desperately! So, I ask my tour groups to pray for "Good Weather." It's only after they get here that I explain that rain is good weather.
I started asking God for 10 days of rain to fall during the month of February. Actually, I asked for 90 days of rain but I specifically asked for 10 day in February. We got the 10 days of rain too! It was amazing! We doubled our rainfall for the year in those 10 days.
So, since I had a group of pilgrims out in the rain nearly every day of it, I thought it would be appropriate to show you one of the folks who came with the rain.
