The longer I’ve been Orthodox the more I’ve enjoyed it, and I have loved every minute.
The longer I've been a real Orthodox (as opposed to the pretensions of the BCC) I am coming to learn how much I have yet to learn of Orthodoxy. There appears to be a deep mindset I struggle with on certain issues, and while I know that for the safety of my own soul I MUST obey the Church in all things, I find myself having questions that appear to come from my days as a Protestant.
At the same time, I find myself going deeper into things that matter because my parish has made them available. My last church had no Vespers, no Orthros, no praying the Hours . . . nothing. And these things are medicine I need for my soul. I am very thankful for my parish, my priest and deacon, and my good friends at St. Marys!
