The Gospel

I have been flipping through the old album showing the discovery and building of the church after taking a 4-hour hike in the mountain with Dada and Christina where we almost lost our way in the wilderness. I can see Father Paulo appeared in almost every photo. So I asked Fabian, a French Muslim who just arrived hours ago,

‘What could have made a people dedicating almost half of his life in building a structure made of stone?’
‘If that isn’t faith, what else could it be?’

I wish I will have more idea on the significant of F-A-I-T-H.

Get caught by not following the Gospel reading during the late evening mass today. I wasn’t able to answer when Father Paulo asked me about my opinion to the Gospel which has just been read. In fact, I always read the chapter I prefer to and I’m glad to have finished up the Gospel of Matthew, Gospel of Mark and Gospel of Luke. Ladies and gentleman, I don’t mean to ignore the flow but how could I able to follow it when everything was carried out either in French or Arabic?

Father, why don’t you try to make it in Chinese and I can assure you a satisfactory answer. 

Shit! What a lame excuse!

ah, now I see you're in Lebanon. What was the total length of your stay at the monastery?

Of course no! I only stayed 1 week there. I don't want to get more lazy there!

I'm going to stay in Lebanon only for 2 weeks. Everything is so much expensive except the beer! Remember, I need to travel faster!

Hey buddy, I just had another homosexual encounter yesterday in Sidon! Shit! I get invited for coffee by a gentleman when I was wandering in the town. And he brought me to his house claiming to have some beer on the mountain somewhere near Beit-eddine in his Mercedes-Benz, and he started touching and pressing my thigh in the car!

p/s: It's not easy to hitchhike in Lebanon. It took me almost 2 hours to get a ride!
