Jeremy Basinger, Mike Liska and Jené Sommers are participating in a cross-cultural experience in the Holy Land, May 5-22.
They and other Bluffton University students will survey the geography and archeology of the region by visiting significant biblical and historical sites and by meeting with Israeli and Palestinian people. They will walk where Jesus walked, float in the Dead Sea and eat St. Peter’s fish at the Sea of Galilee.
With Mother’s Day fresh on my mind, allow me to share with you some important things my mother taught me. Maybe after reading this, you’ll think of some things your mom taught you.
Don't tell us that you didn't buy anything at the arts and crafts show! How about the farmers' market? How about some food?
Okay, then, did you listen to any of the musical entertainment? Did you think about riding the ponies, or talking with the llamas?
Certainly you drank a cup of coffee, sipped a snow cone or bought some gourmet popcorn - or just a $1 bag fo popcorn. Did you have some homemade ice cream? Did you win something from the fishing pond?
