in His steps

Several noticed on the Holy Land trip that I wear a pedometer.  This is not a requirement, but is highly suggested by the health arm of the United Methodist Church.

Friends in the Holy Land knew we were walking a lot.  They asked me how many steps I usually take and how many I was taking on this trip.

Now that I am home and have a chance to add it up, here is the answer to the question of how many steps.
Average steps while in the states is about 7,000.  Average steps in the Holy Land was 15,000.  So we did a great deal of walking in God's country.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Jeff, the Holy Land presentation last night was wonderful. Glad you and the other 40+ people got to do this. Focusing on the Holy Land brought a question to mind. Do we correctly label this a "Holy Land Tour?" Or should we call it a Bible History tour.

This almost seems like a thought that Jeff would share, but isn't all land "Holy Land" and even the waters "Holy Water," in that it was all created by God? When we take our first step outdoors each morning, aren't we standing in the "Holy Land." A technicallity, but something I enjoyed thinking about.

Blessings.
