Thank you Jerry for helping me begin this journey to the West Bank.
It was one of our church members, a Palestinian Christian, who first introduced to me the whole conversation and ideas about the Holy Land - Israel and the West Bank - but it would be years later before I’d get that involved with it.  Thanks Jerry for your patience.  It was sad how hard it was for Jerry to enter the country with us.  It took us 3 hours at the airport in Tel Aviv and it was simply because of his name.  Omar experienced the same problem.  I understand Israel’s concern for security - I don’t understand how they go about that.  It’s as if it’s building the tension unnecessarily high. 

Make up your mind Omar, only 1 religion per person!
Here, I am sitting, trying to help Omar, on his first trip to the Holy Land, get all the nuances of the 3 great monotheistic faiths.  Explanation moves to integration and experimentation.  First, he hits the Western Wall with the Jews.  Then, he discovers “Mosque Planting” with the Muslims.  I get him to the empty tomb -  all in Jerusalem - all in one hour!  He gets it all!  Any questions at all you have about these 3 monotheistic faiths - Omar is ready to explain.

Life couldn’t be better.  On the Mediterranean at Tel Aviv - and a HUGE Ice Cream Man!!!!  I love ice cream.
