Some of you have suggested that I am exaggerating when I say that a US Marine never retires, they are simply not currently on active duty. The story below is evidence that what I have said is true. I only quoted part of the story, I recommend that you read the full story. Hmm, btw, […]
How to speak Christianese – a funny video
Father Orthoduck got quite a laugh out of the video above. Sadly, it does point out how often we Christians do tend to use “in” language that actually can confuse people who are coming into the faith. We Orthodox have our own share of “in” language. Father Orthoduck is not against people coming into Orthodoxy […]
A completely understandable judicial decision

Well, it has to do with the following story that has been reported in various of the news media, including CNN. A Birmingham lawyer — and lifelong Auburn football fan […]
Maybe Father Orthoduck’s fire was not as bad as he thought
On Monday, Father Orthoduck published about the small fire that he started accidentally at the church on Sunday. However, the video above demonstrates that far worse mistakes are made by well-meaning people.

Can a coffee be mystical?
Father Orthoduck must admit that having a cup of coffee in the morning after one wakes up can be a bit of a mystical experience. Sitting with a cup of coffee at the computer while reading the morning e-mails or sitting at the table just relaxing in the morning and trying to come to full […]

In Orthodox worship the deacon (or junior priest) cleans up […]
You know you are spending too much time on World of Warcraft when …
For those of you in the know: “It is all that lag in Dalaran that slows the game down and I have to wait.” Or: “I wish my guild leader would not take so long to start a raid.” Or: “But this is the week with the fest that gives special gear.” Or: “I am […]

June Cleaver speaks “jive.”
June Cleaver died just 10 days ago. Baby Boomers in America sighed and felt the sorrow of losing a beloved icon. Who was June Cleaver? Well, she was the mom on Leave It To Beaver, the quintessential example of what was expected of middle-class suburban women in the 1950’s. In many ways she was a […]
Kids say interesting things
This reminds me of a show that was old when I was young.
