Our day started with a service overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Our guest for the morning was Dr. Yohanna Katanacho from Bethlehem & Galilee Bible College. He spoke about the way of peace in the midst of difficult times using the Triumphal Entry of Jesus. He pointed us to a Prince of Peace who came differently than those who instill fear.

We moved to Caesarea Philipi (See Mt. 16) to see the site of Peter's great confession of Christ. As we were there we heard sirens and on leaving saw numerous military and police vehicles. There was a shooting of four men who entered from Syria - it was in the area we visited (we could see the Lebanese and Syrian Borders today) but we frankly didn't see anything that made us have any sense of unease - for families we are all doing great!

We ended our day at the Mount of Beatitudes (MT 5 - 7) and at Capernaum where Peter lived.

Heading to supper just as some are coming up from a swim in the Galilee.

More tomorrow!
