Bishop Nikanor is kicking butt and taking names! Last night, thousands of Serbs marched through the main streets of Belgrade in protest of the Euro Pride march expected to be held in the capital city next month. Estimates of the number of participants vary. Balkan Insight reports 5-10,000...

Hey Everybody, I haven't posted a thread in some time, but I got to thinking the other day about impassability, and I often wonder if most folks (myself most definitely included!) understand it and how it relates and works with the Lord and His Passion as well as His Life? I think of the idea...

Good Morning, After the way the COVID thread went and the direction I've seen TAW take, I've really tried not to post here. It's a shame because I miss so many people and have really wanted to be here. However, I'm really uncomfortable with the degree to which some posters have gone to create a...

Hey Everyone, What I'm going to ask you guys might sound stupid..... I'm having a sleep study done at the hospital tomorrow night at 9pm. For a long time now I've suffered from insomnia. It's the real deal. There are a lot of factors I won't bore you with here and now, but I had an at-home...

Hey Everybody, I haven't posted a thread here in a while..... As my kids are now ages 15, 14, and 13, I'm starting to really really look at careers and majors and colleges with more introspection, and I've been thinking a lot about how unsafe jobs have become. If you're a...

Mrs. Reader Gurney got her first Family Nurse Practitioner job! She’ll bring in about $15,000 more in her first year plus $10,000 hiring bonus, no more night shift, $50,000 in college debt erased, only catch is 25 minute drive. Fair trade off. We prayed hard about this. She had her Iveron icon...

Just curious what everyone's parishes are looking like now with COVID? We've had our parish open for quite a long time. We were only closed for the first few months of the shutdown in 2020. We still have Divine Liturgy but we wear masks in the building and keep pews open so that there is...

Good Evening, My Beloved Friends, So sorry I haven't been on much lately, but with teaching distance online learning all day and a Master's degree by night, I don't come up for air. But I really need your prayers. Ever since I became Orthodox, I have been friends with a lovely woman in her...

My town is picked-over! Zero toilet paper, groceries stockpiled and pillaged, schools mostly closed down, hoarding nutcases. How’re you all doing? I’m off from school home with super painful kidneys with two out of three kids and the world is looking like the Road Warrior only instead of...

Hey Everybody, For the past month I've been in severe pain in the lower part of my middle back. I went to the chiropractor and he said I had two ribs out of place. He popped me back in, things felt good that same day, then I was hurting like crazy even more days later. It wouldn't go away...

Hey Everybody, Since there are 97 threads started by SingularityOne, I thought I'd create a Gurney thread. What the heck. I've been gone a while. I've had a few of you emailing me asking where I am, etc. I've been one busy dude. Between working on my Master's degree, my wife working on her...

All Are welcome!!! Gonna start this quote mania off tight!! "You leave Jack Burton alone! We are in his debt! He showed great courage."

On Sunday, July 21st, Lord willing, I will be tonsured a Reader in the Holy Orthodox Church. I was notified by Father today that. I am beyond honored, thrilled, excited, and a little nervous! Many of you have been praying for me. I can’t thank you enough for the kindness in taking the time to...
