Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. Just wanted to update you that the interview went well (at least from my perspective). There were some really good moments, but some "meh" points as well. Either way, it is done and in the books; just have my "thank you e-mail" to send out and then...

I have kind of started a new "personal" tradition - just in its second year. I do this over in Facebookland (aka FB-land) to try and stymy all the ugliness, and general trash that finds its way to my wall (and likely the walls of many a friend). I start off December 1st by posting the prelude...

I wish I could get some of these local employers to have the same attitude about me. LOL! :-)

What the...where do you come up with...I can't...I mean, there are not even words, dude! Dot believes we may be brothers, orphaned and then adopted by separate parents. LOL! Perhaps we should arrange a meet to compare our snarky, sarcastic, and misanthropic notes on the world, people...

You translate it however you want; believe what you want. It really isn't open for discussion beyond what I had to say about it, sorry. Nothing personal, I am sticking to my obedience from my SF. Nothing more really needs to be said about it, I went; I got as far as I did; I left; end of...

Thank you, Truefiction1. I get quite a few job notices myself, but at this point, never hurts get some more. :-)

LOL! Gurney, you are just too much! :-D I know busy, I'm up to my eyeballs in busy - just not at seminary. I left there last year, and well...let's just say "it's complicated" and leave it at that. You can be told all sorts of things prior to going, but nothing truly prepares you. So, I'm...

Thank you, All4Christ.

No worries. Wasn't insinuating that you were making any such suggestion. If anything, it was just a little too much of my self-depreceation showing. :-) Truth is, I could always do with using the ante on the ferventness of my prayers / prayer routine. Hence, my going to the vigil being done...

Phew, I got tired just reading of your efforts. LOL! I think I'll just stick with things the way they are on my wall. Besides, I got a little proactive in the battle against the rage and rancor. I have decided to post a stanza from St. Romans' Kontakion on the Nativity of Christ (along with a...

Wow, that sounds nice! My FB friends list has it's fair share of "God-fearing" people, but then there are "rednecks, rebels, and rogues", not to forget the progressives, atheists, agnostics and apostates, the smattering of LGBT, and so on. My friends list is a literal melting pot of humanity...

Thank you, Anhelyna, All4Christ, Anastasia, Gracia Singh, ArmyMatt, and yes, even you gurney! LOL! Apparently you didn't get the memo about the meeting, or my appointment to the post. :-D I will do my best to stick around, but what kind of prodigal would I be if I didn't wander off every now...

Thank you, Matt

Thank you, Anastasia. I have my own "miracle" story related to asking for intersession from St. Xenia. Perhaps I am not being as fervent in my prayers this time. :-)

Thank you, solace.

Thank you, Anhelyna

Greetings Dear Brothers and Sisters, Just my periodic check-in to let those who might actually care, I am still robbing the Earth of valuable oxygen. I also posted a prayer request in the appropriately named thread. Those who know me, know I rarely ask for any prayers for myself, but I'm...

I could really use prayers for employment. I and my family are down to surviving off my measly military retirement, and what I can earn doing "handyman" work for relatives or friends. I've been searching for just about a year now, and I only have FOUR interviews to show for it, despite having...

Hello Zaida and Mary; thank you for stopping by. And to you as well Rus. Thanks for having my six. I'm not sure whether that Gurney fellow was just cracking wise or looking for a good "old fashioned" CF throw-down. ^_^ I'll be sure to keep my eye on him from here on out. LOL!

I do not know of any exceptions being made at Holy Cross. Off-campus housing that accepts pets can be found - we managed to do it - but it is by no means easy, especially with two and at the weight(s) you list. I do not know who the bishop is you are, or will be, talking to about this; but I...
