Sea of Galilee

What a wonderful day we had on the Sea of Galilee! It stormed the night before so we weren't eve sure we would be able to go out on the boat. In the morning, however, it was clear and we had a meaningful trip from Tiberias to Genneseret. We were led to a boat named, "Faith" which is a good name given the reputation of this lake. As we came aboard we were marveling at the view and the awareness that Jesus had been at this very spot. The boat captain put on some music and it was great worship music we recognized. Bill and Margo recognized the music as the same as a CD they had listened to before flying here. I thought it was another "Christian tourist" thing, until he shared that he had been fired from another boat because he is a Jewish believer...messianic Jew. He obviously loves the Lord and actually had been on tour in the U.S. for three weeks just before this time. He had two albums of his music which have contemporary worship music with some verses in English and some in Hebrew. Maybe we should have him come to Oregon.
As we prayed and reviewed Jesus walk on this water we felt God's presence in an amazing way. Through the wind and the light rain we thought about Peter's brave attempt to walk on this water based on his belief in who Jesus really is. What a day!!
