Today, we saw a few, new (to us) kinds of mushrooms. Two mushrooms looked just like eggs sitting on the grass. Some of the mushrooms looked like paper parasols. Very fragile! One mushroom looked like a slightly burned, misshapen marshmallow. ummmm! It made me hungry for cooked marshmallows. I will try to get pictures of [...]

Father Patrick, Feel free to correct me where needed.
On Pentecost Sunday our friends, Mark and Barb got blessed and prayed over to become catecumens at St. Peter the Apostle, Antiochian Orthodox Church. Mark’s two sons and his daughter-in-law came to witness and experience this day with all of us. There was no official announcement [...]
What’s the holdup?

When we decided to “try out” the Orthodox church near us, I thought it would be a few visits. Then somehow my husband got the idea that we had discussed a plan (we probably did) and started telling a few people that we were going to try it out for a year and then make [...]
Orthodox Christianity — Adding quilt pieces
Posted in Holy places, Orthodox Christianity, Religion, Tradition, Weblogs on May 5, 2008 | 7 Comments »
During Pascha or Passover, my husband, children and I were soaking in some OLD Christian Traditions with a local Antiochian Orthodox church.

Hello it’s me again. I found a blogger who is telling her story of journeying to the Orthodox Christian faith. I liked the part of the story that I have read, (Part 4) you can go to the link here or click on her name in my blogroll. She is Nichole3. I am just fascinated [...]

The Agape service at the Orthodox church was wonderful. It was yet another service that made me cry! I was not feeling sad or even repentant (those were other times that I cried). I was feeling joyful and blessed to be able to experience the universal aspect of the body of Christ, as several different [...]
I’m feeling overwhelmed by Orthodox Easter

Both in good ways and in bad ways I am feeling overwhelmed by Pascha, otherwise known as Easter or Passover, for Orthodox Christians.
Just for the sake of getting my whining out of the way, I will tell you the bad ways that I am overwhelmed. Mainly it is physical. We have been to so many [...]

Our family has been visiting an Antiochian Orthodox Christian church for a few months now.
At first it was so [...]
