Masada: Jewish resistance’s last stand against Romans

21 January 2016 blogpastor Leave a comment

The first time I went on a pastor’s familiarization tour, Masada was not included. In this pilgrimage I led, Masada was included but a flash flood spoiled our plans.

Cana: a renewed commitment to faithful marriage

21 December 2015 blogpastor Leave a comment

There is no magic nor a special blessing about doing a renewal of commitment to marriage in Cana. Jesus graced a wedding party at Cana and did a great miracle of changing water to wine.
