• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I just thought I'd say hi. Orthodoxy is always somewhere in my mind, and a lot of my current views on things are largely influenced by Orthodoxy still. I lurk here at least once a week, I just never have anything worthwhile to post.

But I'm tired of always lurking and wanted to check in. :) :wave:

I'm glad you made a landing. I hope all is well.

Awww, you all have made my heart warm. :)

I'm doing pretty well! Establishing a life on my own - an apartment, a job, and school still. Doing the whole growing up thing. Realizing I know a lot less than I thought I did. :p

Been to church twice recently. One of my good friends I met years ago at OCF on UT campus got married recently at St. Anne's, followed by yet another good friend this past weekend. :) There's a lovely new iconostasis there!

I am so grateful that you have come back to some church services.
I am praying that you will keep the Holy Faith.

Warmth of heart is a sign of the Holy Spirit at work. :thumbsup:

Yep, every ten years I look back on what I was so CERTAIN I knew and conclude that I was, without fail, a blithering idiot! ;)
