    St. Micheal's Prayer

    St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking...

    Anyone up for a chat thread?

    And organize and motivate the kids. My older two grandchildren are teens and both did horribly online last spring. Part of the problem, I suspect, is that the teachers at their school only had a week of training in developing the online curriculum and it was boring according to both kids. My...

    What's the weather like where you are? (10)

    On my FB feed today, I saw a picture of England currently that has totally red vines around a house. It didn't say where in England it was but I can only think it must be in the quite northern part. Here it's upper 70s. Looking at the estimations of the rest of the month and somewhat into Sept...

    I'll look for that book and what you say is very interesting.

    Anyone up for a chat thread?

    Well, I understand that the Jewish culture was amazingly patriarchal, however the gentile world wasn't, so did you then (while discerning) or have you since seen any writings of the ECFs that speak to genders of priests/bishops? I'm wondering, definitely not critical. I know, from your posts...

    Vocation stories

    Thank you so much for explaining how you came to choose to be a priest. I appreciate it. Bless you.

    Anglican Church beginnings...

    The politics of the time are much more likely. Importance of Spain and it's monarch, Charles V (who didn't want the marriage annulled either) holding him essentially prisoner.

    I lived in upstate NY (well, the Catskill area) for a summer. I thought it was wonderful then. Even tomatoes, which I normally think only so-so) were wonderful there. In some ways like WA's Olympic Peninsula, but in other ways, not at all. Those beautiful deciduous trees! And they made the hills...

    I did understand all you posted quite clearly.

    Corona Virus

    Re-lockdowns are getting more and more likely all over the US as more and more cases arise. In fact, LA county is in full lockdown again. Florida and Texas are even worse then LA, but I don't know about a full lockdown in those states. In this state the governor has paused indefinitely any...

    Is reaching souls for Christ our number-one function as Christ's church?

    In His Commandments He made it very clear that we are to love God totally (which, off course, includes obedience) and love each other as we do ourselves. These, I would say, are our "prime directives". Part of the 2nd Commandment would include, I believe, bringing souls to Him.

    How long were you in Coos Bay? I don't know of anything that compares with upstate NY as far as deciduous trees. At least in the US (I've only been out of the US into BC/Alberta and to northern Mexico). It's beautiful in upstate NY (no matter the season)! That's so tiresome to have the heat up...

    Yep, mid 90s here west. so my daughters house (with ac) was really nice. Today it's about 10 degrees lower, so did my grocery shopping earlier. At least, next Monday's supposed to be only 71, but then it climbs til it's 89 on the 11th of August.:sigh: This is not normal! I'm actually thinking of...

    Proof of the Trinity

    If a person looks carefully throughout Genesis and the Gospels (as I did when I was questioning the Scriptural basis for the Trinity, not counting Sacred Tradition or the ECFs or the Church Councils) one can hardly NOT see specific allusions to the Trinity. They're all over! Even the Didache-The...

    Martial Arts & Judo

    My teenage grandson adored Tai Kwon Do. His father was a black belt in it and he (when he had to quit) was a blue (and white?) belt. He was looking to be really good and was a natural. When his parents can afford it again I hope he takes it back up!

    I looked into it this morning and the winds for the highs forecast for this coming Monday come from the north/nnw! Weird!

    You sound like a closet meteorologist. Or maybe not so closet? I haven't heard of any Chinook winds (our version of Santa Anas) right at the moment. I'll have to pay more attention. Actually, there've been pretty few even breezes the last few weeks, but that doesn't mean they won't start up...

    Sort of, on Puget Sound just south of Seattle, a couple hours drive to the actual coast. I haven't paid enough attention to say if this heat wave is from on shore or off shore winds. But generally our weather comes from the Pacific, so this being from the Cascades wouldn't surprise me.
