Yesterday the heat pump on the exterior of our house was stolen. Since Alabama is in the 80’s, it has not been too bad. However, it has certainly been rather surprising. The worst part is that this type of theft is beginning to grow across the USA. I may try a post later on tonight, […]

But, this brings up the opportunity for me to ask some trivia questions. What is an ossuary? How old is the practice of using an ossuary in Judeo-Christian circles? Are ossuaries […]
During the last week, I have been in church every day of the week. That has actually been very good, as it has been a very impactful week, and I would have been tempted to make comments that would, perhaps, have not been appropriately Christian. One of the things about a week-long stint as a […]
For those of you who are not Orthodox, what is that first week in Lent like if you follow the OCA parish tradition in the USA? I should mention that the OCA parish tradition in the USA is similar to the traditions in the “Old World.” This will explain to you why those who work […]
