God IS Good To Me!

It's been about 5 days since our last blog. Since then, we were able to catch up on some much needed rest after traveling for so many days. We have heard from the locals that the weather actually changed the day we got here. We heard reports from a lady on the ferry that they had been sailing with 12 foot swells the week before. I (Dave) made a log in my journal that said, "perfect weather, great smells and beautiful song birds singing, God is good to me!". What a great way to rest.

Our game plan before going to Israel (where Harlee says, Jesus lived) :) has been to go to Greece and spend some days catching up on the time travel and acclimate to the area. We love visiting Biblical sites because of the sense of reality that comes to pass when you stand in the place of those well known Christians that have gone before us. That is what we are experiencing here on the Island of Patmos. Whether visiting with the locals and listening to their views of how majestic and divine this place seems to be even to the present day. Or sitting in the cave where tradition has it that John received the "Book of Revelation" it's hard to explain the experience. It just seems to be amazingly good. Our hotel manager, JoGina, says this Island is "Blessed". We can testify to that personally, she even upgraded our room to an upstairs room with a beautiful view of the pool and the Aegean Sea! Dave keeps saying.... "God is good to me"! Kimi says a BIG Amen!
