YOU HEAR THINGS ABOUT East
Jerusalem. After all, the media must
have its ratings. We stayed in a guest
house in the Muslim Quarter expecting to
see lots of action and experience plenty
of harassment from local Arabs. Neither
happened. While there was no shortage
of hustles being run by shop-keepers,
hospital ity and genuine intrigue
regarding Americans was the rule. We
walked around all hours of the night and
felt perfectly safe in every part of town
within the walls of the city. Soldiers are
everywhere. But even without them I
suspect that Arab charm and warmth
would be made manifest at every turn.
Its just in their nature. This is all asidefrom the fact that there is a struggle here between governments and some select groups, of course. But on the
whole, good natured people are the majority. One thing I found in my travels both in Israel and Egypt is that Arabs and
Egyptians never make light of the foibles of another. For example, I was a bit over ambitious on one of my walks around
the Old City and slipped on the ancient stone steps leading up to the ramparts. A group of Arab youth were sitting just
feet away from me. Rather than point and snicker as most western teenagers would (myself included), they all stood
up in unison and made their way over to me to make sure I was alright. There may exist any number of reasons why
this happens as a rule but that fact that is happens at all endears these people to me. The Muslim Quarter is a treat to
the senses. And the people that live here are among the most unique I have ever encountered.

I am not unsympathetic to the plight of Palestinian Arabs. We are in the
West Bank today and h ave been greet ed with extraor dinary hospita lity.
Im not naive enough to believe the demonstration has nothing to do
with t he fact th at we were Westerners . But neither a m I so hawk ish and
bull-headed to think the generosity and warmth is all for show. These
people are generally good-natured and they just want to be left a lone.
The is a tension in the air, though. There are those here who truly
would like to wipe Israel as it is known today off of the map. A s a r esult
these people are frightened. But from what Ive seen, the fear comes not
from the Israeli Army but from Hamas and Hezbollah who threaten
their families if they cooperate with the Israelis. If there is fault to be
found with the Palestinian people it is that they dont show half of the
chutzpah in uprisings against these two terror groups that they do in
anti-Isr ael demonstr ations. I can only guess that s because they k now in
their hearts that the Israelis wont cut off the heads of their loved-ones.

Im having one of those days where you sit outside and stareup at the
sky. These kinds of days are always dangerous for me. After a while
I get to thinking. God speaks the world into existence. He creates
everything then sets aside a Gardenwhere He lovingly forms humanity
with one fluid move of his hand. He imagines a brilliant system of
light and darkfrom which love the act of choosing light in the
face of the dark can be realized and grappled with by humanity
and demonstrated to the Creator. The essence of light and dark is
masterfully poured into two trees. It is left to man to choose. But after
mining the depths of Gods creative geniusIm left with one question.
Really, God? Youve done all of this only to for an itsy-bitsy
reptile to get the drop on you? Heres to hoping the angel
guarding the gate has a better handle on pest control by the time
we all get back Home. Because I aint going through this again.
