The sirens will sound Tuesday

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

Matthew 24:6 “Wars and rumors of wars.” I have gotten several emails over the last few days asking me if the rumors of war are true. As Zvi, our head guide, would say, “I am on the wait list for prophet school.” I do not know or have any inside information. “Only the Father knows.” […]

My egg salad is just not the same

Friday, April 4th, 2008

I am so blessed to be in the land of Israel. Berg Productions, Jeff and myself filmed at an Air Force Museum in Beer Sheba. I climbed in and out of a few of the planes. Yes, I have this picture of me flying and the Russians being very afraid. Brig. General Yakkov Turner started […]

We will film all day

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Just a brief note from my phone: Started filming early and we will film all day.  Concert tonight.  I will tell all in the next blog. The weather is just glorious! Mid to high 60’s.  A wonderful spring.  Everything is blooming.

They have become our “mespachah”

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

We put the tour group on the buses for the U.S. last night and it is always with sadness to see them go.  They have become our “mespachah,” or family.  Each one has a story of why and how they are in Israel and each story touches my heart.  I plan on writing my “Shalom […]

Purim, Good Friday, and Shabbat all in one day!

Monday, March 24th, 2008

What an interesting last five days I have had. Texas had so much rain last week that my plane was about six hours late leaving DFW. I missed the flight from Newark to Israel and ended up spending the night there and caught the flight out the next day. Jeff and Berg Productions were already […]

Pecans, Karo syrup, and tuna

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

It is that time again for Israel and I am happy to report that I have finished packing in record time.  I had the privilege of being in California for a conference honoring Israel and did not get back home until last night.  The Berg Production team is on their way to Israel today and […]

My top three favorite sites

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

I have gotten into the habit of listening to the “song of the day” on our web site. Today was “Return to Galilee.” It is probably my favorite song of all of the songs that Zola wrote, with the exception of the songs he wrote for me for Valentine’s or our anniversary. On the tour […]

Spending the night in Newark

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

I am back in Dallas after two days of traveling.  Our flight out of Tel Aviv was three hours late, due to weather, and so it made not only my flight to Texas not happen, but most of the other travelers had connections that were not made.  I ended up spending the night in Newark […]

You cannot buy anything over the counter

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

What a last day in Jerusalem.  The weather is gorgeous!  Clear skies and mid 70’s.  I could not have asked for a better last day. I walked Bet Lechem street and got my paper, silently saying good-bye and praying for those people who I have seen everyday for the last two weeks.  I take heart […]

I am looking forward to some Mexican food

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Burrrr! It is cold this morning, but clear skies. I cannot believe that I am leaving for the States on Thursday. The time has gone just too fast, but, it is time to go. I have some filming to do (End of Year programs) and some speaking engagements to attend. I am looking forward to […]
