Prayers for you.:crosseo:

Good for you. No sense in being stuck-in-a-rut!! ^_^

I agree with the others to read the stories and writings of the early saints. I recommend St. Polycarp, who was one of the saints that was of interest to me in my first studies of Orthodoxy. After reading the early saints and martyrs of the Orthodox Church, this will easily show what...

I love used book stores!! There are usually a treasure or two to be found there. :)

Perhaps Michael can say where he got that book? Isn't that what the OP is asking, how to obtain these blueprints? :)

Try getting more magnesium in your diet. I understand it works wonders with those who have depression episodes. It also helps with about 22 other conditions, too.

We say that for all of those who depart this existence.

For one thing, in my parish, the Sunday School is only for the months that school is in, and during the summer the children participate in the entire Divine Liturgy, for there is no Sunday School at that time.

We should pray that our Orthodox bishops and priests stay true to the faith. We should pray that many Muslims come to know the truth about Christ. During easiest of times is when we lose our faith, or tend to. During times of struggle, and hardship, then we see our faith grow. What I see...

I have never, ever, considered my husband my "significant other" and am offended if someone would say that to me.

That's what I was about to say, ArmyMatt beat me to it. Start one yourself is there is none!

I had a similar desire as you do - to find a Bible-based church, etc. I found the Church that Jesus gave, the True Church, one that did not "die out" and that the gates of hell did not prevail over. They were first called Christians in the city of Antioch (Syria), and on a street called...

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Not all Orthodox crosses have the 3rd horizontal beam. I know, you were joking. ^_^

I didn't know it was gone, either. But then, I left CF for a while - and probably that was about the time they took it out. It's no wonder I left. Anyway, I return back, and they now have the Nicene Creed once again. Maybe I will stay around for a little bit.
