Crossing Back to Israel

Kris and I are crossing back to Israel now...then on to Haifa. We drove a different way to the crossing this morning. Great time with Ben and Heather and family in Jordan. They are an amazing family. It's amazing how all of us are growing in justice concerns.
Last night something weird happened. As we were leaving the restaurant we we were entreated to buy some kind of trinket from a woman and her three children. She said she was homeless. But the funny thing is that she was American, had no accent and was a little retarded, I think. She said she was trying to get to New York and was selling these trinkets to raise money. The three kids were well dressed and happy and watching us interact. I gave her 20.00 and left, but couldn't help thinking abt her. Who was she? How could she be homeless in Amman? Were the boys angels watching over her? Weird.
Headed to Haifa. Jay
