Our grandsons are fascinated by railroad trains and have collected several small model locomotives and freight cars. A model train hobby captures the imagination and teaches about history, physics, technology, and commerce. The kids have ridden on a real train and were delighted by the sights and sounds of the experience.

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.

During the pilgrimage, you will experience the Bible on the ground.
