I join the Orthodox Church tomorrow! I thank God for you all and your prayers. It's been a long journey. Some of it has been difficult. I have failed more than once. Spiritual warfare totally real (Like you don't know that, lol). I'm so excited, and a wee bit nervous too. I wanted to share the...

I'm a yankee now living in the south. Married to a southern belle. Does that count? :scratch:

I was able to visit about 20 different countries when I was in the Navy, mostly Europe. So I'll start out my travels now to: Russia Mt. Athos Japan When I return, I'll get an RV and visit as many Orthodox Monastaries as I can. As I'm now waiting for said check, I may come up with other ideas.

Yes indeed! My wife and I watched that series right before we began our catechumen. His church is about 1.5 hours away, so I may have to visit. Thanks for posting this.
