Walked literally on biblical history.

As the night ended last night we walked in the Agean Sea but some swam
and some avoided sea urchants. Probably a good idea, peeing in
someone didn't sound fun.
The hotel we stayed in last night was top of the list from the view,
shower, and food. Keeping in mind today was the Sabbath day we headed
to a place that for me topped everything so far and we haven't evev
made it to Rome yet. Today we saw the prison where Paul and Silas
were. Read Acts 16 for a reference point. We saw the Roman bema or
magistrates office where Paul and Silas were beaten, I got a little
choked up. Have you figures out yet that we were in Philippi. The
stories the scriptures are so alive it's amazing. We then drove over
to see the place where the demon possessed woman Lydia was baptized.
Here we sat and worshipped, broke bread, and learned from God's word.
From here we ate lunch on the warf in Kavala fresh was amazing I had
red mullet that's right mullet. I saw others eat huge sardines,
octopus, chicken and hamburgers.
Well we are now in our hotel after visiting Thessoloniki. We saw from
a distance the location of Jason's house (acts 17). We did visit a
Greek orthodox church tonight and sat through some of the service very
interesting. This active basilica actually brought to life the
crumbled churches we have seen especially in Philippi. The city of
Thesaloniki is huge there are buildings and people everywhere. The
ancient city is still here but everything we see is built on top of
the city this is why our sightseeing is limited. Our chunk of the day
was in Philippi today and tomorrow we head to Berea.

Well Becca at this moment you have just gotten home from church and I
am sure you are enjoying then peace. It was wonderful to talk to you
last night. I sense my heart becoming sad but when I heard your voice
I instantly felt your presence. I love you oh so much and pray for
our hearts to grow only stronger. To my boys I love you very much and
to maddox I love you and don't worry daddy will be home soon. Dean
you are an amazing boy and I am loving coaching baseball but just
enjoying who you are, i love you my boy.

Oh let me end with this to get your curiosity, there is a surprise for
us in the morning, Mark was pretty excited so it must be good so stay
tuned.
