It's taken a bit longer for me to post about our trip to Israel, but these postings will continue.
On Thursday, May 3, after visiting the Church of the Beatitudes, we continued our stops at various spots along the Sea of Galilee.
This was part of the ruins in Korazin and the buildings made from the black basalt stones of the area seemed to bear the burden of Christ's admonition (Matthew 11:20ff) for they had not repented even after experiencing many of Jesus' miracles.
This was the synagogue in Capernaum where Peter's house (supposedly) is shielded by a futuristic church built over and above its ruins.
For lunch, we experienced St. Peter's fish cooked just like the Galilean fishermen would have, however, I seriously doubt that Peter had multi-lingual place mats.
After lunch, we took a sail on the Sea of Galilee as a small storm blew through dropping a little rain on our excursion. It made us think of the much more violent storm that Jesus calmed with his voice. The Israeli and US flags were raised as a tribute to our country and the fact that Israel strongly appreciates American support.
