Above is the Treasury at Petra Jordan. It was a tomb for a Nabatean King
Above Sherryl and I at an ancient Church from the 6th century that has been recently excavated. There were beautiful mosaics on the floor.
Here I am getting water from the Jordan River. This is believed to be near the site where Jesus was Baptized. It is also close to where the Israelites crossed into Israel and where Elijah was taken up in a fiery chariot. When I was here it struck me, isn't it like our Lord Jesus to be baptized at the lowest place on the earth, fully identifying with us. I brought some water home and we have used it for two baptisms in our Church. I'm saving some for our first grandchild who will be born in October.
Sherryl and I at Bethany beyond the Jordan
There are literally acres of Green houses along the Jordan river
