DOH! I had responded to this post and took so long to tell the story of the trucker, his isolation from the world he drives through, and how finding peace from the noise of this world IS possible (and, GTA, what you're describing as what's disturbing you sounds like a bunch of noise to me!). I...

Just checkin' to see if anything's cookin' around here. ;)

:crosseo: Praying for a quick end to this war, and the safe return of our brother, John, to his wife and his home.

No no no. MEN are from Mars. Women are from VENUS! Remember?

JENN! Welcome back to the US! :wave: We're in for another hot week with lots of sunshine (and the perpetual 30% chance of afternoon thunderstorms) here, but nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year. :cool: Glad you've arrived safely!:clap:

I don't think there's anything wrong with praying for those who are not orthodox. We are called to forgive those who love us and those who hate us. We pray for our families and our enemies. We pray to God to heal the sick. I think it's awesome that you are the one praying for those who would...

My prayers for this precious baby boy. :crosseo: May God bless little Benedict and grant him Many Years.

I didn't know you sold for Mary Kay. ;)

It's been steamy in Virginia Beach as well, although we did get a break from it today. Thank God we've got an ocean where we can run to cool off if it gets to be too much.

OH... and I really love the icon of Christ on the iconostasis you're pictured with! :thumbsup: I know you happen to like that particular icon as well! How cool that it was there for you!

So many of our prayers are answered every time we hear from you, John. You and your wife remain in my thoughts and prayers. You are an amazing guy doing some pretty amazing work. Thank you. And thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. I am always inspired by your posts. May...
