Taking Dad to mosque

Like last time I was here, I am back to taking my dad to mosque once or twice a day. He's pretty passionate about it. I whisper to him all the way PTJ. I take him in and then go to Amir Bakery and buy coffee and come back and sit outside till prayer is over. No confrontations. One guy told me today that he wished I"d pray with them inside. I told him I pray.

the bearded man has taken to ignoring me, I think

Sat with Dad at Atta's today and he didn't say anything of consequence.

ِAhmed Day

Today Ahmed came over. He arrived as I was sitting in front of mosque waiting for Dad to come out. Two guys tried to pay for the coffee for Ahmed at the Kahwa in front of mosque. The cahwa owner gave him the coffee for free.

Then Yusara made mensef for him and even though he didn't eat it I was proud that Ahmed was showed so much love for my family. Dad sat outside with us for a long time and spoke with Ahmed. He laughed and had fun

Another nugget: A. told me he was beaten in last year or so and that my name and picture are on the list still.

Then Najat and I drove Ahmed back to Ramallah

Najat said she would miss me

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:

rapture day!!!

Today is the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles. I preached in church yesterday that lots of folks say it the is the day of rapture. I think so too.
I didn't leave after the rock incident.
I came back.
Yesterday I got to deliver to Atta the message about the RAs Abed

We talked for about a half hour. I wouldn't say I won many arguments but we talked when we were alone

DAd was there and me

everyone had left

He really flipped when I said Jesus was the Son of God

as of this morning my views on piper were 1169

had a little stress today and monotony
at night went with Naj. to Ram. that was fun
came back and got falafel for dad

Y. was mad at me but  I really needed to go because it was dark and dangerous to drive alone there

views up to 1175

By Tuesday morning views up to 1,329

Ras Abed

I stayed after talking with everyone and got a chance to share the Ras Abed story with Atta. I felt I needed to tell him before I leave. It goes like this. When I was a boy I used to always take a Ras Abed from Atta's store and "pay later" they cost five qirish

At the end of one month I was scared because I owed for 90 qirish and I didn't have it. The my step mother Yusara went in and I remember Atta telling her that her husband's son was in debt 90 qirish. She pulled out a dinar and payed off my debt just like that

I told Atta that is what Jesus did. I was in debt before God and Jesus came and died and paid off my debt. With His blood He washed away my sins and the sins of the whole world

Atta went on with typical arguments. He was shocked when I told him Jesus is the Son of God. I tried to explain the difference between "ibn" and "weled" but he wasn't listening

but we started and I, at the end, told him to remember what to do if I wanted a Ras Abed

casting stones

had a pretty good day with Dad went to Ramallah and saw Saleh's bro. then went back later and had kinafa with dad at Samer's hilwiyat. then went home and took car back to N. Then did my usual at Akram's house and walked home. As I did, a large block stone and concrete appearing was thrown in my direction. I saw the youths standing down the street. A girl who was entering a house near where I was walking looked back adn saw the stone and me.
I called friend came to spend night with a friend and told fmaily that my friend had a car accident.
AFter I go to place where I slept I found out a friend acutally had gotten into a car accident - two.
Preached at Chruch about the seven feast. Was well received the high point was effective "I believe the rapture will happen on the feast of Tabernacles, I'm telling you this now because this holiday is tomorrow."
