It's pretty obvious

I wasn't always this way I used to be the one with the halo
But that disappeared when I had my first taste
And fell from grace It left me In this place​

Well I'm starting to think Maybe you like it​

I tear you down I make you bleed Eternally
Can't help myself From hurting you
And it's hurting me I don't have wings
So flying with me won't be easy Cause I'm not an angel​

"Well I'm starting to think Maybe you like it"

free choice and independent thinking

"Can't help myself From hurting you"

lack of free choice and independent thinking

Which is it ?

That it's time for me to go...

It was fun at times...but this isn't where I need to be...
I can't see what's so obvious about it...

Will I still see you at Desert Calling at least? :hug:


You and your daughter Kaydra remain in my prayers.

Ah, Gweny. Do not say you are leaving!
Just when we were getting to know you!
Stay awhile longer.

My catechumenate was hard too. However,
one priest told me to read the story of the New Russian Martyrs --
those who suffered and died under the communist yoke.
That really helped me. The miracles that were witnessed were awesome.
Many soldiers converted to Orthodoxy upon witnessing these miracles;
others had their faith restored. Our God is awesome.

Are you still going to be posting at CF or DC?

I will keep you in my prayers.
And it is awesome how suffering reminds us
to pray and to give thanks to God
for all His graces that He bestows on us.

God grant you many years, Gweny!

Hey, Gweny,

You are in good company.

Did I ever tell you this true story?

There was this young Greek Orthodox Priest who was only 5 feet tall.
One day he went to the airport in his riassa sans cross because
Greek Orthodox Priests do not usually wear a pectoral cross.
A man approached and asked him, "Are you a Jewish Rabbi?"
The Priest responded, "No, I am Orthodox."
The man replied, "So, you are Jewish Orthodox?"
The Priest said, "No, I am Greek Orthodox."
The man questioned further, "So, do you Greeks still worship Zeus?"
