Hi Everyone,


I am happy to say I am officially back in the Orthodox Church. I did my lifetime confession last week and also had my first communion in many years Wednesday night. After not having communion for several decades, I had it twice in one week which is amazing.

My wife is going to be baptized this Saturday on Lazarus Saturday which is even more amazing. She has been on her own journey. She was immediately drawn to the church after I brought her for the first time - a year ago.

It is strange to think I am actually Orthodox again which is really cool. I spent most of my life away from the church but still interested in it. Some of my "Orthodox Wanderer" posts are kind of embarrassing but that was where I was at.

I feel a slight difference after the communion. I feel the same but a couple times I noticed that I had check myself. I was getting mad about an unexpected dental issue and I had to pause. I am Orthodox now. I just can't let my tempter flair like I used to.

Will post more later.
