DIARY: “We
are now at Schiphol airport. Cor
drove us here early and our
flight has been delayed, from
11:40 to 2 p.m. I am sitting at
a table watching the parade of
travelers and Joy has gone off
somewhere to read her Urantia
Book.
SASKIA: Looking
back more than five years later
[2003], it was a wonderful trip.
The best part, aside from our
camel ride alongside the
pyramids and our magical time at
the Sea of Galilee, was getting
to know Joy better. Having a
Urantia Book buddy to see Israel
and other Mediterranean lands
with, at our own pace, was one
of the highlights of my life. We
had our moments of disharmony,
but nothing we haven’t been able
to laugh about since. Sharing an
experience like this seals a
friendship, and that is one
thing we will take with us
throughout eternity.
JOY: This
month-long excursion to
Amsterdam, Greece, Egypt and the
Holy Lands with Saskia has been
one of the highlights of my
life! I will never forget it,
and will always be grateful to
Saskia for inviting me on such
an adventure. She is an
experienced traveler, generous,
easy-going, and lots of fun
to travel with, although she
sets a pretty mean pace. Being
in the land where Jesus lived
and taught was incredible!One
feels so close to him and to God
in these places. It was a
wonderful spiritual experience
as well as a fascinating
vacation.
