Chicken Soup with Chopsticks: A Jew's Struggle for Truth in an Interfaith Relationship (excerpts)
Even as I started dating a Chinese girl, I knew I was embarking on a remarkable adventure. I just had no idea where and how far the adventure would take me. The more events unfolded, the more I realized that my view of the world and how I lived in it were being profoundly and permanently altered...
If the problem with marrying a gentile was that my religion prohibited intermarriage, why should that bother me? Perhaps not everything in Judaism made sense, and as an intelligent and thinking individual I could take from my heritage what I felt was meaningful and disregard the rest...

What is Intuition
Did you ever get a feeling or gain notion of a specific situation without any logical explanation? Well, that is your intuition. When you least expect it intuition reaches out and hits you with information that you have no idea were it came from.

However, many find that when their intuition is over looked, it later proves itself to be a fact and regret not following it.

Instructions... Guess Work or God's Work?
I love recipe books...looking through them, collecting them, and occasionally even using them. I suppose just having them is rather like a safety net. It's always mind assuring to know they are there just in case... But unless they are opened up and used, all the secrets inside will forever remain hidden from view. It will benefit no one. Are you hiding your hidden treasures from view?

Why Worry

Let Your Will, Not Mine, Be Done
Can I be honest with you? There are days when I just don’t feel like getting up in the morning. I’m noticing this a lot lately because the weather is changing and it’s pretty cold early in the morning when I awake to start my day. There are days when I move that blanket off of me and quickly snatch it back because it’s too cold to get up.

Trust Jesus (and Stress and Fear will Disappear)
The weight of the world had decided to settle on my shoulders. The car insurance was due and I simply did not have it. The cable went out on Wednesday, and I love Law & Order but had to miss it because regular television doesn’t work without cable in my area. The final straw came when the Student Loan people called and demanded I send a payment. I couldn’t handle it anymore. Not by myself, I couldn’t. So, I called on God for assistance...

The Relief of Centeredness
If ever you find yourself in a confrontation make sure that you separate your true self from any outside influence. For instance if one were to experience a disagreement with a co-worker, start your own healing and ultimately the healing of the relationship by unrelentingly remaining connected with your breath or a mantra; whatever it is it must be powerful and meaningful to you and must shake you to the awareness that you are not your thoughts and you are not the thoughts of the other party. Only from this state of awareness can a sufficient amount of separation occur to allow for a new compassionate viewpoint.
