Dancing on the Water – February 17
This moment became an ‘appointed time’. We got up from our seats, and in the center of the boat danced to Kadosh.

We unloaded the boat to the dock to the song, “Days of Elijah”.
An Arab Village – February 13
Rawan was one of the exchange students that my son met last year at Chadron State College. She is an Arab Israeli that became a family friend, ‘daughter’ after she spent a couple of weekends at our home. She invited us to Chadron for her talk on Israel and the International Food Festival. She became very close to our youngest daughter and wanted us to visit her someday in her beautiful land of Israel.

This valley is also the location where the final battle of Armageddon will be fought. The Scriptures say that blood will fill the valley up to the bridles of horses. Seeing the valley, this is an unimaginable amount of blood. My daughter said, “I don’t want to imagine it.”
