See!! It's just that the male genetic makeup is more tuned to honesty, than propriety

That may be so.

Though I certainly try to be honest. I mean, I DID admit it was a little funny to me.

No, maybe men are ... tuned a little differently than you propose, lol.

But I think God put a certain balance in things.

I mean, when I watch Braveheart, I know *I* wouldn't be suited for front lines combat, but there are certain things in life I think women are well suited to.

Now, let's hope I don't draw the wrath of lurking feminists for saying so.

And to be more complete, I will say that I learned when I became a mother that God put just a little bit of tigress or mother bear in human mothers, when it comes to our babies being threatened.

But I will admit, my mind created an Irish accent saying those words, and it WAS just slightly comical to me.

My wife and daughters often exchange text messages in English but written in the Greek alphabet. We discovered that we all read them out loud with a strong Greek accent. Its hilarious

since it has been a bit since we posted here, thought I would share this video that has been circulating on facebook. sub-Saharan African Orthodox chant.

LOL I thought I replied to this. That struck me as hilarious, but the first time I tried to do it in my mind, I can read the Greek letters, understand in English, but I couldn't get the heavy Greek accent in my mind (I was trying to hear a man's voice). Kind of a mind-bender for me. Not elastic enough I guess. Reread it today and it was easy to "hear" ... in the accent of a dear lady in our parish who teaches seminarians and translates. Her accent is very heavy, but she enunciates SO carefully. So now I can "hear" it just fine.

Oh, I was going to reply, and just realized this iPad doesn't have Greek installed. Hmph. Now I have to figure out how I did that last time ...

Though it's something of an annoyance because I frequently hit the language toggle by mistake.

Nice to meet you!

[ArmyMatt]

so yesterday I got to change the altar cover and the panels here at St Tikhon's, which means I got to see and touch the altar consecrated by St Raphael of Brooklyn. pretty awesome I must say

 

[Anhelyna]

WOW - that must have really meant something !

 

[ArmyMatt]

it was, there is also a hand written letter from St Tikhon himself kept there as well.
