Martin Luther King and Jesus
I think if both Martin Luther King and Jesus were warped in the present time they would think about, Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestantism Religions is that people need to act better towards God and try and be a better human being. The religions are on the right path, they just need directions. Each church or temple, are different in many ways, so to be able to be in a church and then go to another church they need direction in that sence.

My Visit to a Christian Church

Church of God of Prophecy
Spring Valley, New York
My visit to the Church of God of Prophecy was very new for me especially when it came to visiting a Christian Church. I once visited a Catholic Church when I got into a car accident about seven years ago, I hit a telephone pole on Halloween night and I felt that I needed to go to feel relief. As I went through the service I felt comfort. I was raised Jewish and Catholic; so experiencing something like my visit to my co-workers church was a very nervous feeling.
As I entered the Church a feeling of peace and calmness flew over me. The smell was very light and clean. Bishop Grant began the services at 12noon on October 28, 2007. He began with the welcoming and announcements. Bishop Grant tells the churchgoers the topic of the service. The topic the day I went was for everyone to stop playing god. This means that people need to stop acting like god and be themselves because he knows what everyone is doing. Then afterwards he began with the prays of worship. During the prays of worship the whole church sing songs. The churchgoers get really into the songs. It is very interesting because they sing from their hearts; you can see it in there body movement and faces. Scriptures of reading is completed after the singing of the songs. During this activity they read from scripts from the bible. I have never actually read the bible; hearing excerpts from it was motivating. At the end the choir gets up and sings. There music is so moving, and peaceful. While they sing it makes the person want to think about his or life and really concentrate.
Overall my experience at the Church of God of Prophecy was very different and exciting. The people there were so friendly; they greeted me so kindly like I was just another churchgoer. They helped me feel welcomed, which felt really nice. As I was exiting I felt as if I was free. It might sound weird but I felt as if I had stress and everything that has been bothering me for the past days, weeks, months… lifted off my shoulder.

Shinto kamidana
If i had to create my own Shinto Kamidana it would be very interesting. My shrine would be placed in a room which we call it the new room. It is located on my first floor of my house and that is the room that when you enter the home, is the first room. It is more of a open room that many people would see.
The one thing that would be very important to me would be a butterfly. Ever since i was little i was always into Butterflies but as i got older they meant more to me than just an insect. They represent freedom, peace and life. When i look at a Butterfly i think of my life being free. Away from problems. The color purple would be on the Shrine. That is my favorite color. It would put a silk purple sheet laying on the shrine. The next things i would put on the Shrine would be pictures of family memories and family members taht have died, as a reminder they still are here in soul. I would also put candels at the both ends of the shrine because they give relaxation. That is something that i need in my life and that i cherish. Lighting candles at night gives me a time to myself and a time to forget of every stressful thing that happened during that day.

Get rid of "learning" ...
Get rid of "learning" ...
Get rid of "learning" and there will be no anxiety.
How much difference is there between "yes" and "no" ?
How far removed from each other are "good" and "evil" ?
Yet what the people are in awe of cannot be disregarded.
I am scattered, never having been in a comfortable center.
All the people enjoy themselves, as if they are at the festival of the great sacrifice,
Or climbing the Spring Platform.
I alone remain, not yet having shown myself.
Like an infant who has not yet laughed.
Weary, like one despairing of no home to return to.
All the people enjoy extra
While I have left everything behind.
I am ignorant of the minds of others.
So dull!
While average people are clear and bright, I alone am obscure.
Average people know everything.
To me alone all seems covered.
So flat!
Like the ocean.
Blowing around!
It seems there is no place to rest.
Everybody has a goal in mind.
I alone am as ignorant as a bumpkin.
I alone differ from people.
I enjoy being nourished by the mother.
As i read this poem i thought of homeschooling a person. This is a person who believes that going to school and learning in books will only bring anxiety. Those yes or no questions is a waist of time there is no difference. This person is alone all the time and has not been at a normal comfortable setting. I read all the poems on this website and they are very touching. I love poems in wrote one poem already and i was actually thinking about putting a book maybe together of poems. Right now my scheduale does not allow me to sit back and write poetry. When you get a chance look at this website and if you like poems there might be a couple on it you might like. http://www.hm.tyg.jp/%7Eacmuller/contao/daodejing.html#div-1
