Let me share a heartwarming story that has inspired me, and I hope it will inspire you too. The parents, particularly the mother of two grown-up boys, are going through a difficult time. Their boys had a fallout and have not talked to each other for over a year. One of the sons hardly talks to his parents and consistently shows an angry face. Communication at home has become scarce.

Our grandsons are fascinated by railroad trains and have collected several small model locomotives and freight cars.

I have had the privilege of visiting the Holy Land, driving from Egypt through the Sinai Desert all the way into Israel. That drive through the Sinai is a tough one. We have organized a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. We will visit a couple of territories – Jordan, Israel, Palestine, and Egypt. The flyer is on the table just outside the chapel. During the pilgrimage, you will experience the Bible on the ground.
