Greetings everyone,
When the big falls are a long way off, the river seems quite lazy and placid. However, with the drift of time, almost imperceptibly, that will change. We are still pretty far out from February 25 – March 8, 2013. We are getting there.
At this point 50 people have asked to be put on the list of those interested in being a part of this grand Holy Land Tour. Circumstances may prevent some, but there will be others. I think that will be especially true when word gets out that Dr. & Mrs. David Gibbs, Jr. of the Christian Law Association are co-hosting the tour with Mrs.
