I've only been to 2 IBPS temples (one in Hacienda Heights in California and this one). I have to…read moresay though, this one is much smaller than the one in Hacienda Heights, making it more intimate and giving it more of a cute community feel. It's very nice inside; lots of windows and natural lighting throughout the day. The people there are extremely friendly and welcoming. So, even if you're not Buddhist, you should go visit it!!!

We have visited here a couple of times. We were familiar with Hosea Church because my daughter and…read moreI had visited Hill's Church in Pullman, WA where she was attending WSU. Both of these churches are an outgrowth of Blue Sky Church in Bellevue, Washington. Walking in the door, everything seems perfect. Nicely dressed people, a talented worship team, a young, charming preacher. If you have studied any christian history, you'll quickly figure out they are Calvinist, and words like "elect" and "pre-destined" will be heard in the message. Outward appearance seemed to be really important to members here. People were sharp dressed, women in makeup and perfect hair. Everyone looked similar: no worn clothes, no one rough around the edges, no biker t-shirts, no tattoos, no nose rings. For a full building, it was odd at the absence of non-white people or older people. It didn't dawn on me until later that it was basically a middle class club for white college graduates. We left feeling like we had visited a plastic version of church. I'm sure there are a lot of good dedicated people here, but I just believe that you could find a place that feels more genuine, more diverse, and deeper.

Hosea has a very special place in my heart. I have experienced being loved immensely by the people…read morehere at Hosea, and I have also been deeply challenged. I came to Hosea thinking I was a follower of Jesus. Boy was I wrong. If you want to sit in on a service, listen to feel-good preaching, slip out the back of the building after it's over and avoid talking to people just to check off your cultural Christian box so you can feel better about yourself and skirt accountability, Hosea is NOT the place for you. If you're curious about who God is, if you're hurting and need support, if you want to join others in worshipping Jesus, and if you actually want to grow by listening to convicting Bible-based teaching, then Hosea IS the place for you. The people at this church love Jesus, and they're not afraid of showing it. I dare you to come on a Sunday; you won't look back. We also have free donuts and coffee!

This school has the absolute worst and the most dangerous carpool structure. Sending cars laden…read morewith children onto a busy and narrow section of leesville road with only a stop sign, instead of the much wider section of the same road with stoplights down the street to assist in moderating traffic. Any attempt to deviate from the dismissal route or attempt to park elsewhere is met with stern looks or comments from staff. Providing vans for transportation or an RPD officer to direct traffic would go a long way in improving this issue.

My child has the best experience at TFS and can't wait to go to school each day. As a Catholic…read morefamily it was very important to us to have our children learn about our religion and faith in school. I assumed this meant she would occasionally have a religion class as I did growing up. But TFS integrates Jesus's message of faith hope and love into every aspect of their learning. My children KNOW Jesus and Mary and have big places for them in their little lives. Academically I am astounded at the teacher's ability to cater to each child's needs wether special or advanced. It is a wonderful learning environment and parents are always included in what is going on as well as invited to participate on a regular basis in school events and activities. I can contact the teachers at any time with any question or concern and I always receive thoughtful and knowledgeable responses in a timely manner. The open communication is so important to me as a parent. TFS empowers the students by helping them each find their uniqueness as individuals and fosters a beautiful sense of community through their teachings of Christ and evangelism.

During our trip to Cary, we visited the Cathedral again. It is as impressive on the second visit as…read moreit was on the first. The cathedral is HUGE and can seat 2000 people. I enjoyed walking around the sanctuary and looking at the statues, including statues of Saints of Color. Many of the stained glass windows are from closed Catholic churches in other communities (Philly, I think). I have not had the opportunity to attend mass here, and that is something I'd like to do on a future visit to the area. There is plenty of parking and helpful staff. There are places nearby to eat, if you need that. Both visits, we've eaten at Sammy's Tap & Grill.

Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral is a beautiful cathedral and one of my favorite places to visit…read morewhenever I return to Raleigh. On Christmas Eve, I attended the midnight service, and the cathedral was packed all the way out the doors. It was truly beautiful--music, praise, and worship filling the space in a way that stayed with me long after I left. As an active-duty U.S. Navy Diver, life often keeps me far from many of the places that bring peace and reflection. Raleigh has always been one of those places for me. It is not only where I wrote Purple Rose: The Stars Carry Her Name -- Letters from Me to Her, or the city of the woman I wrote the book to, but also a city where I have found moments of calm, purpose, and kindness. Though my time at Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral has been limited, whenever I go, I am always met with warmth. It is a beautiful place, and one I look forward to visiting again. JamesVThePoet.com
