Today is the eighth day of February.

I was like, where are we?

February, welcome to the Daily Audio Bible.

Big travel day today.

Heading on the big bird across the big ocean.

I got all of you packed in my suitcase.

And between gentlemen, my suitcase,

and we're all, there's room for everybody.

And we will be heading to the land of Israel

for our pilgrimage this year.

So thank you for your prayers over that.

As, well, it's quite an involved thing very exhausting thing even and um requires a lot of logistics and a lot of jet lag which is a least favorite thing about traveling for me.

So off we go looking forward to it. Glad to be here today coming from

the United States. And now we'll be moving across the ocean and coming to you from there.

But as we begin a new week, well, we do a couple of things. First, we stand here together.

And we look out over the week.

And I'm looking out over this week and saying, wow, this is going to be really fascinating for all of us because we'll be experiencing a lot of the land of the Bible, a lot of the places where these stories that we're reading actually occurred.

So we're in the wilderness at this point.

And a few days from now we'll be in some of this actual wilderness where the children of Israel wandered about and were reformed and looking forward to

put my eyes on that again and being awed by it again. So that is coming this week. But for all

of us, the week is, you know, the week is going to happen day by day, moment by moment,

choice by choice.
