1,001 Nights

Today got up and gave dad a bath. Then I sat on bed and read Bible a little. Y. turned the Quran way up and has left it on till now – it’s 2:44 p.m.

Took dad to mosque and then went to get coffee at Amir Bakery. Then on way back I saw Ribhieh in her store. She called me in and told me a funny situation she had. She had spent 10,000 shekels on products from Bethlehem and so on. But she had a bunch of these ---

Among them were five of these book in hands that say “Holy Bible.” She said that when I leave to America I may want to buy some. I told her my mom would like the one with candles stands. She gave me this one that doesn’t say Bible or Quran – in front of two of her friends who were in the store she said “So no one knows your religion.”

It was in good spirit she said it. It kind of amazed me as if it’s not a problem. Except for Atta and the rock and an occasional whisper (three times by three groups of young men) I haven’t seen the opposition. Then there’s Yus.

I kind of felt it was God’s sense of humor to have Ribhieh get those and then send me there when her friends are there to hear this so I am not making too much of my situation and not to make too little of it either.

Her store, funnily, is called 1,001 Nights and my new book is called 101 Nights based on 1,001 Nights. Lol

Here’s my book which I finished while here and put on Amazon:
