Sometimes, when Missionaries bring their slide presentations to a close, they often choose to use as their last picture a Beautiful Sunset...Well, I thought of one better.....As I now "Officially" bring this Travel Blog to a close, I thought it
would be especially touching to use a picture of a Beautiful Sleepin'Beauty.....

Howdy!!! Sure is GOOD to be HOME...Got in the house about 1:45am last nite...
Dilly was only semi-conscious, but she was glad to see her Bubba... I slept about
6 hrs., and was up about 8am... Got to have my coffee in my own chair and watch
FOX News... Haven't been out to the garden yet, but it looks OK... since June 1st
we've got 16'+ of rain... I'm keepin' my promise to Dilly to take her to McDonalds
for lunch... Sara, James, and Eli are flyin' back from Florida today...
The California Group didn't have as good a trip home as we Ohio folks did~
when they finally got to L.A. Airport (several hrs. after we got home) the fellow
that was 'spoze to meet them thought it was the next day... they eventually had to rent 2 vans for the 3+hr. ride home...Paul called this morning at 9:30am, and they were just then gittin' back to Fresno(9.5 hrs. after we got home...) So, we
want to say an EXTRA BIG WORD OF THANKS!!! to Ol'Richard & Moose for not
fergittin' us and bein' there to pick us up right on time...

The long pillared structure with the reddish roof there at the far side of Temple Mount is the Portico of the Temple, where Peter preached on Pentecost and likely
where JESUS chased out the money-changers... this is a scaled-down reconstruction of what the Temple looked like at the JERUSALEM Museum...

This is one of the dozen or more
ceremonial purification baths that
are just beside the main entrance to
Temple Mount (just a stone's throw
from where Peter preached in Acts
chap#2) There is little doubt that
this is exactly where the 3000 were
immersed in Christian Baptism in
response to Peter's sermon, in Acts
Chap#2... It would've been the most
practical and convenient place near
to the Portico of the Temple...

This is the building that houses the
Holocaust Museum...it is a very long
triangular building, which is meant
to symbolize the Valley of Death.....
It is a very solemn and somber place.
The precious faces of the little children
that were murdered by the Nazis that
appear everywhere were the most dis-
sturbing to me, as I see the faces of my
own precious Grandchildren... and then,
to think that we "civilized" Americans
are guilty of murdering millions of our
own precious babies through abortion.
ANYBODY who votes for politicians
that support, condone, or turn a blind-
eye to the horrific SIN of abortion is
just as GUILTY as the Nazis and German
people who committed such atrocities
upon the Jewish people during the
Holocaust.

Here's our entire Group (Ohio+California+
Texas) seated in front of the entrance to
the compound of The Holocaust Museum.
No pictures are allowed to be taken inside
the museum... But, it was surely a moving
experience... For me, it just drives home
the need for we Americans to be all-the-more
vigilant to withstand the tyranny and the
imposition of MORE & MORE socialist/
marxist government...With the people who
are the close advisers of the present regime
in the White House, we have MUCH reason
for concern. PRAY!!! GOD SAVE AMERICA!

We begin the morning of our last full day
in Israel/Jerusalem... It's Sunday morning,
June 13th (of course, it's only 12:30am back
home in Ohio...) Today we'll be going to
The Holocaust Museum, The Jerusalem
Museum, The Southern Steps of the
Temple Mount, and to an overlook view
of Bethlehem (we chose not to actually go
into Bethlehem, because we would have to
leave Israel's security) Then tomorrow
morning early we'll be heading back down
to the Airport at Tel Aviv to begin our
journey home...we should be safely home
by late on Monday night..."Lord willin'..."
Everybody has had such a wonderful
time (although Margaret Dwelly was a
bit sick yesterday and chose to stay at
the hotel all day~but she's ready to go
again today...) As always Hope & Mona
are bubblin'...WORD of WARNING~You
can expect Hope & Mona to be VERY
insistent that everybody should find a
way to make this trip.....
Of course I can't help but think about
what's goin' on back at Saltair... I know
you will be blest by Bro.Leo Kuhn's
preaching...be sure to tell him Howdy!
and Thanks! for me... Also, I trust that
all those I put in charge of tormentin'
Dear Sharon have been doin' their best
to honor my request...
This Tuesday I expect to be a CRASH
day to rest from the long flight, etc... I
plan to be at Church on Wednesday eve.
for Prayer Meeting & Bible Study....then
on Thurs(my normal day off) I'm sure
I'll have lots of yard & garden work to
git caught up...
Well, I'll take lots more pics today,
and I'll git 'em posted tonight...
KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS, AS YOU
ARE CERTAINLY IN OURS.....
GOD BLESS & KEEP YOU!!!!!

The "King's Game" inscribed on the ancient
floor stones of the Roman's Antonia Fortress.
Which likely the very spot where the soldiers
cast dice to gamble for JESUS' Robe... To mock
those who were to be executed, the Ruler would
donate a costly robe to be put upon the condemned,
and then whoever won at the game received the
king's robe... (By the way, if you click on any of
these pictures, they will be enlarged, so you can
see the finer details...)

Good Mornin'!!! It's a HOT Sat. morning
in JERUSALEM...but lower humidity.....
It's the Jewish Sabbath... We're going to
Gethsemane & Golgotha & Garden Tomb
today, plus other places, etc... Will post
new pics tonight...
Some of us (esp.Mona) were greatly
worried that there would be no coffee
this morning due to Sabbath (we were
told that...) They just don't understand
that with we Americans, that coffee is
actually one of the main food groups...
Praise the LORD!!! we had our coffee
this morning...
