The Sea of Galilee




The last few weeks in the daily readings, there's been a lot of "traveling" on the part of Jesus.




Lots of crossing water, walking along water, being on the water.




I couldn't help but think back to my time in the Holy Land this past January/February, and our boat trip on the Sea of Galilee -- I could see Jesus walking along the edge of the water. I could see Jesus calling the fisherman in the water to come out and help him fish for people.




My reading the gospels has changed significantly since my trip to the Holy Land -- indeed, my life was changed through that experience. I see the sights, I smell the smells, I taste the bread -- it was a powerful time, and it stays with me!




I hope this few pictures invoke wonderful images for you as you read or hear the gospel in the weeks and months to come.
