So the other said to him: "Look, I will put a brick […]
https://olashirt.com/63ouv08 G.K. Chesterton, a Catholic, wrote in Orthodoxy, “The modern world is not evil; in some ways the modern world is far too good. It is full of wild and wasted virtues.

I saw the video above–from WTOP–and found myself wondering whether this was a visual representation of how the sequester would work.

The Assembly of Orthodox Bishops has posted some informative material on their website. One of the has to do with geographic patterns of Orthodox life in the USA. Just to give you an idea of some of the interesting information you can find. Let me post a couple of notes for you. Which state in […]
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Swedish furniture giant Ikea was drawn into Europe’s widening food labeling scandal Monday as authorities said they had detected horse meat in frozen meatballs labeled as beef and pork and sold in 13 countries across the continent. The Czech State Veterinary Administration said that horse meat was found in one-kilogram (2.2 pound) […]
I am home today. Yesterday, I spent most of the day sleeping because of illness. I feel better today, but it is still not safe for me to go out and about. I certainly would not make it through Orthros and the Divine Liturgy safely. So, I stayed home feeling just a mite guilty. Since […]
