Lunch was at Ein Gev, a kibbutz on the eastern shore of the sea of Galilee. We ate St. Peter’s fish (talipia fish deep-fried whole, head and all). Enjoying our meal in this beautiful seaside setting we watched two Israeli military helicopters fly by. Boarding the Corazen we road out into the middle of the sea where we experienced how a little wind was able to kick up whitecaps and waves. When we stopped in the middle we read the text from Matthew’s Gospel of Jesus’ walking on the water and Peter’s attempt to do likewise. As we finished the reading we realized that, at that exact time, our church family and friends in Charlotte were likely listening to a scripture reading in their worship.
