Walking through this gigantic NTC promenade, park and shopping center towards High Tech High and The Rock Church, I notice that the atmosphere is quiet and polite yet even as the sky is overcast it's bright out. As I walk people are very friendly as are children, very courteous. It is a one-stop shopping place. The grass is cut neat and quaint.
I enter the church, I'm wearing jeans, a jacket and cozy boots. I'm supposed to be here for the health fair, volunteering. On my chest, not a cross but a shield of David. In a room with thousands of people I have never felt so alone. Everyone that stopped along the way were respectful first. courteous second and trying to convert me latly. Judged before they even knew me. The Rock church is a christian church that began in an auditorium at SDSU in 2000 but has grown the near thousands ever walk of life. The church building has 2 campuses, holds 8 weekend services, and 2 school. I have never been to the Rock Church but everyone was raving that is was so amazing. And that website says they believe in the Bible, Jesus and such, I didn't attend any services because I am true to my own faith but just walking into the rather large building that houses a giant cafe and bookstore I did not feel at home; I will for sure never be coming back.
When I left I appreciated my own reformed Jewish faith, I accept the Torah as the foundation of my life and inclusion not exclusion of everyone no matter what race, color, or gender they are and of every walk of life. I love my temple.
In other news, yesterday I wrote to my friend thats in Army basic training I understand why he needed to go but, I still miss him very much and I pray for him everyday and every night. I can't wait for him to come home. after I wrote to him, I had to write to another one of my friends who is leaving Monday (two mondays ago) for Navy basic training. In the midst of all this I have begun enveloping or my work at home business, I have the mailing list, envelopes, and flyers/order forms and stamps. I was going to mail 100 at a time but that seems like too much. So I just choose 25 at first.
My day was so exhausting I couldn't wait to snuggle into my nice warm program I got from bedheads pj. Usually I just go to victoria secret and buy my pajamas. But since my brother loved the pair I got him for hanukkah, last year, I slept like a baby. Looking at their site I loved the fact that they are made in the USA. Currently bedheads are having some sort of sale bedhead pajamas.so check it out
