New pictures recently added. Many thanks to the Lipscomb University students for their help and a special thanks for the Master Gardener, Bruce Anstey. We know a lot more people were in the background, giving support and financial aid to make this trip happen and we say Hooray for being there!












I'm posting pictures of the Lipscomb University student's trip to Grace Home #2. I've heard it was a rewarding trip for the children at Grace Home, their teachers and leaders and the Lipscomb students.

Phillip and Mary Margaret are changing the world in Israel and here in Nashville

Here are some pictures of what happens when Phillip and Mary Margaret Morrison plan your trip to Israel. These pictures record some of our our priceless memories.

Click on the pictures to enlarge them.

Phillip and Mary Margaret started going to Israel in the 1960s and have made good friends and contacts, throughout the years, and can really show you the important Jesus and Apostle sights plus 3 hospitals that take care of children and the Bethlehem Bible College, including the Shepherds Field nearby, where the Angles announced the birth of Jesus to shepherds tending their flock. When Sarah and I went to Israel, we were really moved by the Biblical sites that we could connect with what we have read and studied in the Old and New Testament all our lives, but our real connection was with the people in the communities, Jew, Arabs and Christians, and the children in the hospitals and the Doctors and staff who take care of them. Saint Vincent's Hospital, that takes care of 60 crippled children, really brings to life what God wants us to do by giving justice to his people and taking care of those who can not take care of themselves. You can really see Jesus in the faces of the people and children who live in the Holy Land. Did you click on the picture of the olive tree that was alive when Jesus went to the Mount of Olives?

One patient at the hospital in Bethlehem, a retired college professor who was recovering from a heart attack, wanted to talk to me. We talked about poetry. At first we talked about English poetry and then we talked about poetry from the Middle East. I was able to ask him what life was like in Bethlehem and he described his life as a retired teacher. Most Arabs you meet can speak English and it is very easy to communicate and understand what life is like and what is going on in Israel and the West Bank. On our next trip to Israel we are going to visit farms and see drip irrigation and go to a High School in the Galilee that is connected to Nashville and a Lipscomb graduate.

We can not help all of the children in need around the world, but for the ones we do help our help is important. I can't help but remember what God said in Isaiah I, "learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow".
