From Worms to Warfare: A Day of Seeing God’s Power in the Land of the Bible

Image
Today was another full, unforgettable day in the Holy Land—layer upon layer of Scripture coming alive right beneath our feet. Caesarea Maritima — Where Kings Fell and Paul Stood Firm We began at Caesarea Maritima, the Roman masterpiece along the Mediterranean coast. This is the very place where King Herod Agrippa I strutted in pride—and God humbled him. Acts 12 tells the dramatic story: “Immediately, an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.” — Acts 12:23 Standing in the theater where this event unfolded gives the passage a whole new weight. This is also where the Apostle Paul was imprisoned for two years, held under Felix and Festus until he appealed to Caesar: “I appeal to Caesar!” — Acts 25:11 “And he stayed two whole years in his own rented quarters…” — Acts 28:30 Caesarea reminds us that kingdoms rise, kings boast, rulers oppress—but God’s Word marches on, unstoppable. ⸻ Mount Carmel — Wher...

The Bible is not just a story—it’s a place.

  What a great day in the Holy Land! Today’s journey was one of those rare experiences where Scripture moves from the page to the ground beneath your feet. Each stop was a reminder of God’s unfolding story—and the privilege of witnessing it with Mom made it all the more meaningful. Tel Dan — Where the Waters Flow and History Speaks We began our morning in Tel Dan, taking a peaceful walk along the lush river that feeds the Jordan. It’s hard to stand by those flowing waters without thinking of the promise of the land and the tribes who settled here. From there, we visited the unauthorized tabernacle site established by King Jeroboam (1 Kings 12:28–30)—a decision that marked the beginning of Israel’s spiritual decline. Standing in that place, you feel the weight of how choices shape generations. Then came one of the most extraordinary discoveries: the ancient Dan Gate, a mudbrick archway dating back to the time of Abraham (Genesis 14:14). Archaeologists believe the patriar...

The Hidden Brain in Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam

Image
  During our recent trip to Rome, I had the chance to see Michelangelo’s   The Creation of Adam   for the second time in person. Standing beneath the magnificent ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, I was overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of it all—the colors, the detail, the breathtaking imagery. Like most visitors, I admired the iconic moment of God reaching out to touch Adam, the spark of life suspended between their fingertips. To me, it was a masterpiece of art and faith, a timeless symbol of humanity’s connection to the divine. But what I didn’t realize at the time was that there’s a hidden layer to this painting, one I had never noticed before—a theory that there’s a human brain hidden in the fresco.   I’ll admit, I had never seen it. In fact, it’s one of those things that seems obvious once it’s pointed out, but until then, it’s easy to miss.  When I looked at it again, I couldn’t unsee it. The folds of the fabric, the positioning of the figures, and even t...
