The most vivid image of our Sea of Galilee stay-
to the left is Mount Arbel.
Nearby Mt Arbel are the ruins of a Jewish settlement
with a synagogue from the 4th century A.D.
There are also cliff dwellings
from the 17th century built by the Druze.
Josephus writes about the Roman conquest
of some of the Hasmonean rebels
who built in the cliffs of Mt. Arbel.

Reflections- January 1-24-14
The morning light danced on the water-
lifting and lowering ripples like breath.
Slanted light honored fishermen,
out in the boat casting nets,
just like 2000 years ago.
Echoes of the swarms of footsteps
on the gentle waterside slopes-
waiting.
Waiting for Jesus.
He is here.
His words dropped like dewy grace
on the expectant crowds.
Life given abundantly to hungry people.
The Word alive. Forever touching lives.
The hidden life sustained.
CLD
Mornings gathered to remember.
Jesus- His presence changed the world.
We leave this area to head south along the way-
and "up to Jerusalem".
