Jericho

Jericho

On a trip to the holy land, Jericho is another stop along the way. It sits at 250 m below sea level. At first, it doesn’t seem much to look at.

This centre of civilization is one of the longest enduring … [Read more...] about Jericho

Mountain messages

Imagine looking around you and seeing people in an endless stream down the slopes of a mountain from where you bask in the warm glow of the sun. The view of the creative lakeside setting is stunning. You’re on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee between Capernaum and Gennesaret.

Releasing the burden of busyness

I did something today I haven’t done for years. I sat in an easy chair in the lounge of a Rwandan B&B on a March morning soaking in the soothing warmth of sunshine, the ceaseless river of birdsong, the pleasant chatter of visiting community members, and I released the burden of busyness.
