Postcard 1: Why We Went A Biblical Tour of Türkiye and Greece

Postcards to Myself: Walking Through the Pages of the Bible

Dear Me,

So...why Türkiye and Greece?

Honestly? A bit of curiosity. A soft spot for old ruins. And a long-held wish to see the places we've been reading about in the Bible for years. Afterall, reading about a place and standing in it are two very different things.

Türkiye came first. And wow, it's big! Every turn seemed to bring another layer of history. Some names jumped straight off the pages of Revelation. Others led us along Paul's journeys.

And it hit me: these stories didn't happen in some far-off, make-believe world. They happened right here. In real towns, to real people, with real jobs and real worries.

Then came Greece. Greener, sunnier and more relaxed, with Greek Orthodox churches dotted among everyday life. A different feel, but the same big story.

Before long, the dots started to join. A city from Revelation here. A place Paul visited there. A name from Acts popping up where we least expected it.

Standing where Paul once stood felt a little unreal. I caught myself thinking about all the miles he travelled, the people he met, and the trouble he ran into along the way. The ruins can't tell the whole story. That's what the Bible is for. But now, when I read those names, I can picture them.

Dear Me, we flew thousands of miles to visit places that were in our Bibles all along. Funny, isn't it? And what a joy to see the pages come alive.

A thought to carry home: Read the story. Then, if you ever get the chance, go and stand where it happened. You'll never read it quite the same way again.
