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...

him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work-this is a gift of God. 20 He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart.

Spring Cleanup
With the end of what seemed to be a never ending winter,
we are now ready to start cleaning up around the house. We
are anxious to lighten the load and get rid of unwanted junk.

we are that much richer for it. Sometimes we can't put a
price on things that really matter.
What is your freedom worth to you?
