I can always count on Pithless Thoughts to post a drawing that either makes me think or keeps me on an even keel. The cartoon above is one of those “on an even keel” type. When I started this blog, I had no pretensions of vast influence. Rather, I thought of the blog as something […]
Hmm, gosh this sounds just like Father Orthoduck at times. We have this tendency to misuse Scripture to our benefit whenever we can. “Proof-texting” is not simply a favorite tactic of those who are trying to convince you of their viewpoint. Sadly, it is a tactic that all of us use whenever we sin, in […]
Texans give a whole new meaning to driving all day
Father Orthoduck and his wife are still unpacking and busy, so this will be a very short post to let you know that we arrived safely. Now, we arrived in Alabama, not in Texas. However, Father Orthoduck has driven across Texas and can verify that the above comic has some truth to it, particularly if […]
On fathers and teenage daughters
Those of you who now have grown daughters may very well remember facing a moment similar to this sometime in their early teenage years.

Almost always the priest controls the situation, speaks politely to the person and tries to guide them back to a more appropriate behavior. […]
Coffee and enlightenment
Father Orthoduck wishes that he had known that it was this easy years ago. It would have certainly saved him fasting, prayer, Bible study, etc. But, there are definitely mornings when the statement above sure seems like a true statement!
Hello muddeh, hello faddeh, here I am at Antiochian Village
Well, here I am at Antiochian Village for the annual clergy symposium. I had to rebuild two computers and reload their software, then get in the car and dash up here for the symposium. However, here I have my laptop, so hopefully there will be an actual new post tomorrow. Hello muddeh, hello faddeh, Here […]
Overboard Red Sox fans
I meant to continue the posting on government today, but some matters have come up. I will try to return to my posting on government tomorrow. In the meantime, please glance at the above comic. Mind you, I knew that the Boston Red Sox fans are a hard-core group, but I think that the cartoon […]
