I read a book, several years ago that I want to find again, but I can't remember the title or author. It had something to do with a pearl, and there was a poem involving that. I seem to remember it being on the moon or something, and it was part of a trilogy. Anyone have any idea what it...

This evening, I started to get sick. Over the past several hours it has gotten bad. Please pray for me, that I may not miss work, as I can't afford to do so.

which means that it's still April 23, so we can have this: Liberator of captives, and defender of the poor, physician of the sick, and champion of kings, O trophy-bearer, and Great Martyr George, intercede with Christ our God that our souls be saved

After 20 months without one, as of this past Thursday, Photie has a car! :clap::cool::tutu::thumbsup:

Since it's well past midnight, I suppose it's now the three year anniversary of when these pics were taken:

Christ is Risen!

1. How is everyone getting the smilies in the section underneath their name? 2. How do you get the background for your character? I must have overlooked those going through the "official" channels.

Now, don't expect any deep theology here. I'm not good at it, unless you count "natural theology." Don't expect Scripture quotes either, for my memory is not good at exact wordings. I just had a thought a couple minutes ago. It is important not to let those sins whose temptations we give...

Having no car, and ample time, I'm available to answer most anything you might ask.

Until tonight, the last time I weighed myself was early Dec, or roughly 3 1/2 months ago. I used the medical scale in the nursing classroom at work. In early Dec, I weighed 347 lbs. Tonight, I weighed 282 lbs. That's a loss of 65 lbs! Given a conservative 10-15 lb estimate for muscle gain...

I am supposed to get a ride to church from a married couple who pass not far from where I live, because I don't have a working car right now. Unfortunately, my nice little atomic alarm clock, that's supposed to do the time change itself, failed to do so. I therefore overslept and missed church...

While I was at the Gethsemani, one of the other retreatants recited the following poem for me: "The Scientist Discovers God" There is a quest that calls me In nights when I am alone The need to ride where the ways divide The unknown from the known. I mount what thought is near me And soon I...

Please forgive me for taking so long. In addition to just being plain lazy, I also had some catching up to do when I got back after a week away. I want to say that I don't mean anything in terms of theology. Though I'll try to phrase things so it's not a problem, if it seems like I mean...

What can you all tell me about Gethsemani Abbey, the monastery in Trappist, KY? I was invited to stay there for a week, and want to find out as much as possible before I go. (They are fully aware that I am Orthodox and not interested in converting. This is my first ever post in OBOB, and I am...

I didn't see anything posted for the Dormition. This Feast is very important to me. It is during the Fast of the Dormition that I first knew I would be Orthodox, two years ago. In addition to that it is my birthday. The following was sent to me by the local Greek priest, who I consider a...

...I am back. I may not be as active as I once was, but during school I will have more opportunity to keep an eye on CF.
