*This a personal reflection paper I wrote for my Religion class.

A Christian Reflection
Aye, Christians, let's have a chat. I'm talking a Religious Diversity class this semester. The professor is great; she is really challenging me and my beliefs.

Pray when you go…Read more Little thoughts: Pray in Public
