One of the highlights of my life was being able to tour Israel last summer on my sabbatical. From the moment we arrived in Israel and began to walk where Jesus walked, I began telling my wife how much I wanted to come back.

There are those who will jump on the soapbox with me to agree. Others will kick the soapbox out from underneath me in ang…
