Five out of eight doctors I have consulted since leaving the hospital believe that I am still alive.
SPN Lifer may be interested in learning that despite Israel being a Jewish nation, the hotel is owned and operated by the Catholic Church. There are quite a few priests staying here as guests. They have all refused to give me the Last Rites, saying I have committed too many wrongs.
I tried dating several of the women staying here but nun of them were interested.

A Resort in Galilee Rises Where Jesus May Have Taught
Father Solana’s plan was to knock down the holiday cabins of the old Hawaii Beach resort, built there in the 1960s, and erect in their place a hotel for 300 guests, a restaurant and a lakeside spirituality center for prayer and contemplation. Architects were hired, and the building permits finally came through in 2009. All that remained before construction could begin in earnest was to carry out a salvage dig on the site, a routine requirement in Israel. The Roman Catholic Church and the archaeologists dispatched by the Israel Antiquities Authority did not expect to find anything significant, and intended to get the dig over with as quickly and cheaply as possible.
But their spades struck history only a little more than a foot below the surface: a stone bench that, it soon became evident, was part of the remains of a synagogue from the first century, one of only seven from the Second Temple period known to exist, and the first to be found in Galilee. A local coin found in a side room of the synagogue was dated from the year 29 — when Jesus is thought to have been alive.
---
Soon it was clear that the site was not just near Magdala; this was Magdala. The dig went on to uncover an ancient marketplace and a separate area of rooms with adjacent water pools, presumably used for producing the salty cured fish that Magdala was famous for; a large villa or public building with mosaics, frescoes and three ritual baths; a fishermen’s neighborhood, scattered with ancient hooks and other equipment; and a section of a first-century harbor. The ancient synagogue was discovered at the precise spot where the architects had planned to erect an ecumenical chapel, to the right of the hotel entrance.

Dovster, I hope youre doing okay. I heard whats happening in Tel Aviv in a few days ago. I wonder why the war still exists in Israel. We will pray for you. Please use caution to avoid this kind of situation. Stay strong and stay safe. I am very worried about you. Stay inside your house. Be careful out there!
