The crib-thief struck again. Yesterday she and her husband came back to steal the statues of the shepherds. Sr. Giacinta and Majed our doorman chased them down the 3rd Station where Israeli soldiers stopped them. The couple were russian and so were the soldiers ... so they got protection from their own co-nationals. Nothing could be recovered as Sr. Giacinta didn't want to call the police. But that irks me alot because if the Church does something wrong, newspapers scream for blood in a secular judicial court .... but when the secular world wrongs the Church, the Church is expected to be merciful and forgiving and sweep the matter under the carpet. So people can continue to rob the Church with impunity ....

| Mr. Bird is curious |
There's been several stabbing attempts around the City. Police and Military presence everywhere ... though not to catch Church thieves. It's generally tense throughout the country. And the dreadful cold is not helping. Today's maximum was 7 degrees.
Mr. Bird has been very good these 2 days. He coos like a pigeon and lowers his head so I can scratch him. Then he wants to follow me everywhere I go. That's abit complicated as he can also fly and if I bring him out of the room, he'll fly off. Or the cat will get him.
So the first week of January 2014 is past. You'll see how fast time flies this year. Much faster than Mr. Bird or the Russian thieves can fly ....
