Sallie, Jes...Ann, woa, I wouldn't go THAT far!<br /><br />Sallie, Jesus took 2 or 3 of his disciples from the town of Bethsaida. So I think he was especially angry when the Jews of Bethsaida later rejected his teachings. And thus he said the "Woe to you, Bethsaida ..." (what is written on the rock).<br /><br />About the accidents. They told me that a German professor doktor of archaeology came to take the excavation group's photo; he backed up while focusing and fell into a pit, breaking his leg.<br />And one day there was a huge gust of wind. Just as I was stepping down into my quite deep square, the wind lifted the huge black netting that gave us semi-shade and the tall, heavy metal post that supported it fell down, hitting my head. If the young fellow-volunteer next to me had not grabbed my arm I would have fallen face down onto the sharp rocks!<br />The German young man was an architect, but soon went to become a novice with the Jesuits. He really saved my life. At least here the curse on Bethsaida became a blessing. <br /><br />Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-32422940802655217922015-06-19T00:20:01.605+03:002015-06-19T00:20:01.605+03:00Looks like Jesus compared it to Sodom and Gomorrah...Looks like Jesus compared it to Sodom and Gomorrah, and that's pretty full of woe.!!!<br />AnnAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13841651518661408615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-51817115499309210812015-06-18T18:39:10.303+03:002015-06-18T18:39:10.303+03:00I think I prefer the wine to the woe.

Must go look up more info, because why would He have taken time from his busy life to curse a town? I wonder if knowing you were doing fairly dangerous work in a town you believed could be cursed (even if you only kinda, sorta believed it) might be self fulfilling for having accidents? You lead such an interesting life ...
