So there is a reason that I've been gone from OC.net for a while ('cause I know you all wondered, right?  ) Things have been very hectic lately, because I have just started my new job... as Youth Director of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Atlanta. I would humbly like to ask all of you, my friends here on OC.net, to please pray fervently for me as I am beginning my new job... there is so much work to be done! Please pray that God grant me strength, wisdom, discernment, and humility that my hands, my mind, and my heart may do the work of Christ in service to Him and His Church! Pray for me a sinner, Presbytera Mari |

Weren't you in MA? So this means a move on top of everything else. Lord have mercy! MA's loss, GA's gain.  |

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

You've got big shoes to fill; but I know (from firsthand experience) that you're more than capable of this ministry. May the Lord bless you always!
