A Roman period boat was found buried in sand near the shore of the Sea of Galilee north of Tiberias . After a period of restoration the boat was put on exhibit at the Yigal Allon Galilee Boat Museum at Kibbutz Ginosar on the west shore of the Sea of Galilee, north of Tiberias.

With former students and other acquaintances attending the Florida College Homecoming and Bible lectureship this week, I thought it would be wise to make a list of my available books that you will be able to purchase from the Florida College Bookstore. while you are on campus.
Ask one of the workers where the books are located when you visit the store.
Many of these books make excellent class studies.
Jesus used an illustration of little flowers like those shown in our photo below to teach Hs disciples that God cares for them. See Luke 11:27. Older English translations used the term lilies.

Our readership is growing because some of you are asking your friends to take a look at the blog. Thank you.
Using the SEARCH box you can search for more posts that mentions the lilies or the Anemone
