If you’re reading this newsletter, there’s a good chance your life is pretty good. That can be said for most people living in America. I am writing this article from a hotel room in Jordan where my wife and I, along with our tour group of 44 people, fled across the Israel border the day after Hamas started shooting rockets into Israel.
