The Place for My Feet

   When I first went to the Old City of Jerusalem in February 1992, a young guide approached me and offered to show me around the city. Before we started the tour, he took out his business card, and said, as he handed it to me, "America is in the middle of Jerusalem."
   I must of had a blank look on my face as I said, "What?"
   "Yes", he said as he held the card in front of me with his thumb under his address. "See the three letters in the middle of Jerusalem. U-S-A is right there in the middle of Jerusalem, see, J-e-r-U-S-A-l-e-m."
