I love to find irony in simple things and I found one today.
This morning we visited Mt. Carmel which is the place where God, at Elijah's request, rained fire down from heaven and defeated Baal and all of his prophets. The Muhraqa Monastery on the top of Mt. Carmel commemorates this spectacular, flame-filled victory. As I walked into the monastery compound, however, I couldn't help but notice and chuckle at the first sign that greeted me. I've pasted a picture of it below. I guess once is enough and they don't want history repeating itself!

This makes me chuckle!
