Hello! I'm not sure if there's anyone here who remembers me, but I used to post here around eight years ago (geez, I can't believe it was that long ago.) In any case, I'm doing very well and always pray that everyone here is too. I'm posting here because my parents are soon moving to another...

Hey all, Since it's Christmas break and I have free time for once, I just thought I'd pop in and see how everyone was doing... anyone remember me? :D In Jesus, Marjorie

Hey guys, I just found a mistake today in the CF character shop-- the Sacred Heart icon lists "RC June 18" as the feast of the Sacred Heart, when (as you all know), the feast is moveable, coming 19 days after Pentecost (this year June 23rd). I don't really know how to complain to people on CF...

Brothers and sisters in Christ, I have been thinking a lot lately about where my treasure is, and where my heart is also, and I think I need to cut out some of my addictions so that I may focus more on the living and risen Christ, the only bridegroom of our souls. I am going to be leaving...

Ari's lump thing was apparently completely misdiagnosed and so she didn't even go through the procedure expected today. It's just extra bone or something to that effect. Thank you all SO MUCH for your prayers! God hears us. Doxa si, Kyrie, doxa si! In IC XC, Marjorie

For those of you who read my earlier prayer request, Ari's biopsy is today around 1:45 PM and so I would REALLY appreciate you guys remembering her in your prayers if you get a chance, not only for the whole cancer thing (ahhh God forbid!), but also that it might not be too...

I'm leaving for NJ today and my book launch is tomorrow morning. Please pray that I may arrive safely (it's just a five hour drive but you never know) and that all may go well tomorrow. Thanks! In IC XC, Marjorie

"My beloved Orthodoxy, you are like an enslaved nation. A thousand winds battle you, wanting to uproot you from the earth, and have decided to make you a lost remembrance, a museum piece showing a tragic history, and yet the great Lord, the triune God, who governs wisely from above, has hidden...

Since I've come to college here, I have made many friendly acquaintances, but only two people have really entered my heart-- my RAs (both sophomores), Ari and Kristin. They're both hysterically funny and wonderfully compassionate, in their own ways. To give you a picture of it, they stayed up...

This is from an Orthodox friend of mine, and I thought it was an excellent summary of our view on the topic which I intend to share with non-Orthodox in the future. I hope you guys find it as helpful. How Is Wrath Propitiated? St. Paul goes to great lengths in the beginning of his letter...

Today I read a story in Tiina Nunnally's fantastic translation of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales (I just bought this last week) which seemed to me to be an amazing parable (though unintentionally) of many of our journeys to Christ, and specifically to the Church of Christ, and I wanted to...

from here: http://oca.org/News.asp?ID=831&SID=19 SYOSSET, NY [OCA Communications] — His Beatitude, Metropolitan Herman, Primate of the Orthodox Church in America, sent a letter of condolence to Brother Alois and the members of France’s Taize monastic community upon learning of the murder of...

Reason #9832098938 why my parents are awesome: We're going to Crete the summer after next for a week or two. Anyone have any suggestions about visiting the island? Churches? Monasteries? Sites to see? We're also planning to stop by Athens and maybe Thessaloniki. I'm especially looking forward...

I really am on break, but please pray for the soul of Jennifer Parks, a girl who was brutally murdered in my town yesterday. She was in the same grade as my little sister, who knew her as an acquaintance and had friends who were close to her (including one who was at her house earlier that day.)...

Hey guys, I won't be posting until the Dormition of Our Lady the Theotokos on August 15th. If you want to contact me, my screenname is in my profile, and my e-mail is on the website I link to (my livejournal.) May all of you have a blessed fast, including the radiant feast of the...

The Antiochian Archdiocese has formally withdrawn from the National Council of Churches of the USA. For those not familiar with this issue, the NCC has become a liberal Protestant organization for all intents and purposes, spending much of its capital on partnering with "pro-choice" groups...

I finally got to reading this book which I bought back in May... it is about Mother Gavrilia, a Greek woman from Constantinople who went to India (and, actually, all over the world) to serve the poor. It's one of the most beautiful things I have ever read... how many here have read this? I...

After finishing the book by David B. Hart that I mentioned, I googled him, and found this article: http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/articles2/HartChrist.shtml It is one of the best things I have ever read, though it definitely takes some time and thought (it's not Orthodoxy 101.) But I thought...

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/ My parents and my younger sister just arrived in London yesterday. They are fine. Please join with me in praying for the victims of this barbaric attack. Grant rest eternal, in blessed repose, 0 Lord, to the souls of Your servants who have fallen asleep, and...

I don't know if there is already a thread about this (I couldn't find one), but I just read that Cardinal Sin died, and wanted to share my condolences with you guys; he apparently was a great man and will be missed. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/06/20/ppines.sin.obit/index.html...
