Israel - The Sycomore Tree

Today was another beautiful day. Above is a picture of the market at breakfast in Netanya. As you can see it was very crowded and a wonderful place to people watch.
The Mediterranean Sea was beautiful. The colors were magnificient and you can't help but think of the Majesty of the Lord.
We found an impressive old Sycomore tree. It is 1,000 years old and has a circumference of 8 meters. If you look closely you can see Pat at the base and get an idea of how large this tree was. If was fun to look at and we couldn't believe how twisted the trunk had become.
In Luke 19:2-6, Zacchaeus climbed a Sycomore tree to see Jesus. Terry is still up in this tree waiting for the Lord to call his name.
Shalom and Good night.

Have the Molloy's arrived yet? Unlike your family who gets a virtual walk through of Israel, us Molloy's don't even know of our parent's whereabouts.
