During the recent tensions related to the Temple Mount – specifically Jews ascending and allegedly praying in the mosque, and the Muslim youth’s potential violent response – the police monitoring each gate were prepared with riot shields.
This Made Me Smile

I was going through my files and ran across this valentine that Grace made for me this year. It made me smile.
She signed her name right to left with reversed letters, which shows the influence of her Hebrew studies.
A Public Word of Thanks

Colleen, my wife, is in Houston, Texas helping her mother who is undergoing radiation treatment. Colleen has been gone for 6 days now, and every day it becomes more clear to me how much we need her here.
Colleen, thank you for being a “taker carer.” (I don’t think that was a word until now.) Thank you for helping take care of Meema, and thank you for taking care of us. I’m sure I don’t realize the full extent of how you take care of us and our home, but I want to thank you for all that I’m more aware of at this moment.
Grace and I miss you and wish that you were here right, right, right now.
All our love,
Craig and Grace
Jimmy Swaggart in Jerusalem

I saw Jimmy Swaggart in Jerusalem this morning . . . on television. As I was sitting in the coffee shop, I noticed that Jimmy Swaggart was being broadcast on the large, flat screen television.
He and other preachers were being beamed in from Cyprus via Middle East Television’s satelite broadcast. No one but me noticed since the sound was turned down and the subtitles were in Arabic.
