When I got home from work yesterday I had a box waiting for me that had arrived by mail.
I was expecting the box, but was not sure when it would arrive. I was eager to open it as I knew what it contained.
Yes, just a bunch of packing 🙂
After removing the packing I found an envelope on top. I opened the envelope and read the thank you card from the Florida College Bible Faculty.
Earlier this year they took a trip to Israel with my friend Luke Chandler.
See my earlier post: A Gift that Keeps Giving
Since I had made a donation to help with the costs of the trip I was sent a couple of books as a thank you gift. The first book is A Commentary on Hebrews by David McClister.
I traveled to Israel last year with Dr. McClister, so I am looking forward to using this book.
The second book is Rose Guide to the Temple by Rose Publishing.
This book has some great diagrams of the Temple and is a great collection of information about the history of the Temples and the Temple Mount. I have already scanned through it once and am looking forward to taking a closer look as some of the sections.
I really missed going to Israel this year. Perhaps next year I will go again.
