Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.

If I could request prayers, I'm planning on moving in the next month or so. I'll be leaving my Old Kentucky Home in favor of the Peach State. I have some really great friends there, who are now Orthodox catechumens, but they're about an hour and a half away from any parish. The goal is to, with the help of the local parishes, establish a mission in their city. I will be moving down in order to assist in that endeavor. There is another group down there of about 15 or so folks that also want to establish a mission, so it looks hopeful, though there also seems to be a bit jurisdictional politics going on. Yikes.

Anyway, having been out of work for months where I am, and having received a chance to move down to be with some of my best friends and help establish a new Orthodox community...I'm really excited about it all, though it's fairly big move, especially since I'm moving away from the parish at which I was catechized and received into the Church. So, again, prayers are much appreciated!

It is an education process for me as I learn about the psychology of spiritual apostasy. And others get the benefit of perhaps hearing righteousness for the first time.

Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.

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
