More pictures for Drew

Drew, today I was in a bookstore in Israel. The store had this nice sign in the window. It looks like the boy and girl are leaning on a lion while reading a book. Would you do that? The next time you go to a library or bookstore look around for a lion.

Did you notice the Hebrew writing. Can you write in Hebrew? The Old Testament of the Bible was written in Hebrew.

Mr. Mauldin, the friend I am traveling with, made this picture of me at Ekron. Ekron was one of the Philistine cities that we read about in the Bible. Goliath was a Philistine. Do you remember the story of David and Goliath?

Now the city of Ekron is only a mound of dirt and rocks. There are some springs in the area and a lot of reeds. The birds come and nest in the area. Do you see the bird house?
