The airplanes continue to fly overhead constantly during the day. During daylight, sonic booms come nine or ten times, shaking the windows, sometimes surprising us so we jump or drop the chalk as we teach, and generally giving you the impression that the sky is falling and the earth is collapsing. But late at night, the town is peaceful and the stars are beautiful (unfortunately, our camera technology isn't that good - we call the picture "Zababdeh at Night.").

We also learned today that our most recent reflection was published on-line by the Holy Land Christian Ecumenical Fund. Several readers have sent notes to us thanking us - this feedback does us a world of good.

Zababdeh at night.
