Hindu, Christian, Jewish

This weekend has been full of religion for me. I had to go to one of the Hindu temples here in Atlanta for my Feminism in India class. I really enjoyed getting to not only see their service but be a part. The people were very welcoming and wanted to help us understand everything that was going on in the service. After the service I left with Allie and another classmate and went to Udupi for Indian food. It was the first time I had ever had Indian so it was an experience. Allie gave me some tips on what things were and what she thought I would like. I have to say I liked the food for the most part. The rest of my day was spent writing papers and spending time with my roommates. Yair has a lot of questions about why I would want to be a pastor and what I believe. Sunday I decided to go and hear my friends David Allen-Grady preach. I love to hear him preach and always get a lot out of his sermons. It was really nice because I also got to see my friend Stacy do the children's sermon. David has a lot going on in his life with a new baby on the way so this is the first time I have seen him since I got back to Atlanta. Sunday afternoon was filled with sleeping, studying, and eating dinner with Dave (my roommate). Today even though it was not the weekend, it still kind of feels like it I had my Jewish experience. I have this amazing therapist that is helping me to get through the stressful time of finishing school and finding a job. She is very New York City woman that is Jewish and told me today that I need to be more Jewish when I speak. This statement meaning I need to have more confidence and power in my voice. I kind of got a kick out of this statement, but I do see where she is coming from. This afternoon I started my job as a TA at the Ben Franklin Academy and will be helping with English classes and also recording my voice on tape reading some of the students assignments because of their learning types.
