Chicken Soup with Chopsticks: A Jew's Struggle for Truth in an Interfaith Relationship (excerpts)

What is it that grounds us in our idealogy even if what we believe in doesn't demonstrate that it works for us? What is so compelling in our thoughts that we won't budge from our political or religions beliefs?

Experiences With Angels
All of my life I had heard, read and sang about angels, not really giving a lot of thought to or about them. Just before my mother passed away in August of 1984 she told me of her wonderful experience of a visit from an angel.

Count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
ROMANS 6:11
My friend Randy had given up trying to live the Christian life. He said, “I have tried, but have failed so many times.

My thoughts turned to Romans 6. I asked him, “Randy, are you sure you’re a Christian?”
“Yes,” he answered. “I’m sure.”
“How do you know?”

The Physical Symptoms Of Stress
Stress plays a huge part in all of our lives now, we all face challenges (good and bad) and obstacles, and when it gets too much, when we are past our comfort zone, then stress manifests. It can be good sometimes, personally I work best when I am slightly stressed, it pushes you to work faster and stay focussed on the task at hand, but too much stress can have detrimental effects.
