Welp, here it goes.
« on: November 16, 2012, 11:39:50 AM »
Welp, my baptism date has finally been set. I will be received into the Church, via Baptism, on 2 DEC of this year. Of special significance to me, two days later is 4 DEC, the feat of the Entry of the Theotokos into the Temple, which is the day I was made a catechumen last year.

...you can imagine so-called healing services of the pigpen. The books that could be written, you know: Life in the Pigpen. How to Cope in the Pigpen. Being Happy in the Pigpen. Surviving in the Pigpen. And then there could be counselling, for people who feel unhappy in the pigpen, to try to get them to come to terms with the pigpen, and to accept the pigpen.

The memory of God should be treasured in our hearts like the precious pearl mentioned in the Holy Gospel.

Mravaljamier!

It's a most auspicious day, Dec. 2 (N.S.) being, IIRC, the repose date both of Elder Cleopa of Romania and Elder Porphyrios of Greece.

Congratulations!

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
