it's been a rough couple of months. I had my tizzy with the roomate situation and waited for quiet a while to get my new place. I stayed at Pastor Azad's house. It was quite a time. I helped translate his time at the North American Baptist conference. It was fun I learned alot. He passed. Not everyone did.
He is very impressive in his holiness, love and kindness.
While there I really learned that maybe not everyone is as much of a failure as I am in Christianity and ministry.
the whole cancer thing seems to be over with and not a problem
I came to Holy Land. Was easy in airport.
Watched Whitney and most of Star is Born in the plane
Went to Jerusalem the first night and second night at Metropole Hotel in Ramallah
very reluctantly came to D.D.. Called Najat she came and got me this morning. I waited outside hotel in cold for about an hour and half
Am in the baranda now
Dad is much weaker than before. He barely moves his legs at all when he walks.
Very
i sat with him and watched Redd Foxx and then Um Kolthoum
Yusra is being very nice. Made dinner.
I went with Dad to Najat's and then we went and saw Khitam and her husband. Khatima and her son and daughter in law and granddaughter were there too. Was fun to see everyone there
Lord Jesus. Can Your glory come here. Through one such as me.
Dad seems to understand and tries to communicate
I understood a word he said: pointing to himself he said "Sick"
I saw Amo Issa. He came by a little. Dad was acting up and he left.
I told him about the colon situation and he said he had the same thing
At the Metropole Motel I had I think what were two great revelations:
1. The Coptic Priest spoke about the Word proceeding from teh Father. HE said there is a difference between a thing proceeding and a thing being created. When a thing is made it is a creation. When a thing is of the same nature it proceeds and is a Son. A Son is different from a house. One is made one is of the same nature.
the other is that Jesus said "If I testify of Myself my testimony is not true. There is another Who bears witness of Me. It is He of Whom you say He is Your God.
The works....
I am outside in the baranda now. Dad didn't sleep last night becuase he was so excited about coming to pick me up.
i'm writing this at 240 a.m. i went to bed kind of early like 930 or 10. I listened to some lady praying and quoting scripture. I heard a small noise outside the door. It sounded like someone dropped a stick or something. I got up and saw Dad lying on the floor. He pushed the sofa away from his bed and while holding onto the wooden chair it fell over.
his hat was on the tile behind him
he was so light to pick up. i picked him up and put him on the chair.
then i put him back in the bed.
Yusra got up and complained a little. i told her to go back to bed. she did
