This afternoon I went to an Arab American Festival with friends.
It was in Orange County, about an hour drive away.
We passed out free water, OJ, and Pepsi as people entered,
and then gave free Arabic/English Gospels of John
and a tract as they left.
The Festival was about 50% Muslim and 50% Orthodox Christians.
Many Lebanese.
The food was delicious.
Much better than the Phoenician restaurant in Redlands.
We had roasted chicken kabob
and basmati rice with onions and raisins,
fresh cilanto, tomato and onion "salsa."
Hummus with pita bread, and beef Shawarma
with raw red onions, tomato, and some white sauce.
The FBI and CIA were there. I wondered if they were gathering information or recruiting. Supposedly recruiting, because they need Arabic speakers.
In a mischievous mood, I walked up to their tent where several were sitting around and said, "Oh, the intelligence agency. Do you all belong to Mensa?" They just gave me blank looks.
Apparently not, if they don't even know what Mensa is!!
Obviously "government intelligence" is an oxymoron.
Not only that, one of their men, who had a CIA logo on his shirt, earlier asked us for directions to the CIA booth. We were dying to say, "You belong to the CIA and cannot find your own booth?!?!? Our government is in trouble!!"
