Summertime often includes travel for family reunions and gatherings of friends. Will that be your experience this summer? And in those gatherings, it’s only natural that people share memories of their shared pasts, right? Years ago, my extended family made every attempt to gather every three years from all over the country, and it was a very special time of celebrating our shared family roots. Several of those dear folks are now departed into eternity, but the pictures and great memories remain.  Join me again back in Jerusalem 2400 years ago as Nehemiah and Ezra are partnering together in leading the returned exiles both in the rebuild of the city of Jerusalem and in the celebration of their shared ancestral history. The story of the Israelites, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jacob’s sons, is a long and winding story which God Himself has been writing for more than 4000 years, and yes today what you and I see on our TV’s each night, is the current chapter of the long story of Israel.
