We have a very good friend from church we cherish dearly. We spend many Sunday afternoons with she and her husband (sometimes their 2 sons come along if they don't have to head to work right away) after church for lunch and also spend some weekends at their house (they live more out in the...

I know the Orthodox beliefs on salvation, death, and Judgment Day. My question is what is Judgment Day for if Protestants (most, not all) believe that if you are a Christian and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior--when you die you go straight to Heaven. I guess they think Judgment Day...

OK...........so a few months back I posted a thread asking if anyone had LASIK or PRK, etc. and now I can not find that thread. Since then I saw the eye doctor and now tomorrow (the 5th) I go in for pre-op. If all goes well and she does not find any reason to not go through with the surgery...

Happy Veteran's Day to everyone!!!!!!! May we always remember the sacrifice of those who have served and those currently serving in the military for this country! God bless!

So I was wondering if anyone here has had LASIK or PRK done? If so, what were your results and are you truly happy with the outcome? If not, do you know someone that has and their outcome? I have been mulling over this for some time now and made a consultation appointment in November. The...

An article was done on the Orthodox faith in our local newspaper. A few pictures from our church are in it, as well as 2 of us. The last picture in row 2 you can see the backside of us, and then the last picture of all of them (row 3) is of us (John and Jolene). We were also interviewed for...

Hubby and I have been trying to get pregnant now for the past 3 years. But, as many of you know, he has not been home the entire 3 years (stationed in Korea a year and deployed 15 months), so it has been a little difficult to define the actual amount of time we have tried. We have tried...

The time has finally arrived for hubby to come home from deployment! :D :clap: It's been almost 15 months now since he left! I ask for prayers for safe travels for all our troops coming home (and for prayers yet for all our troops still deployed) and that our re-integration process goes...

Asking for prayers for hubby (John)! He is still deployed, but in need of prayers. I don't want to go into detail, but this deployment (15 months) has taken its toll on him (both of us actually) and any extra prayers would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! :crosseo:BMW

Ok so, is there any Biblical reference to wearing your wedding ring on your right hand instead of left? Or is this a custom that some (not all) Orthodox Christians do?
