So, How You Been?

Blogging for over two years & then taking a two week hiatus … interesting. Thanks to all the folks who sent me stories, many stories. It wasn’t so much the lack of material, but circumstances that prevented my updating the blog:

1) Our 2Wire modem decided to die one week after the warranty expired.
2) We bought a house & moved.
3) I really wanted a break.

And, hey, maybe it was coincidental, but it was good for book sales. 🙂

Now, through the wonders of dial-up, on to a couple of those stories …

The bishop said the event would give people “a chance to see if there is any chemistry between them and a church”.

Good heavens.

Wait. What? Orthodoxy in the South?

With some 2 million believers in North America, Orthodox Christians remain a minority in the U.S.

But Orthodoxy in the South is on the rise. Over the last three decades, Orthodox churches in the southern U.S. have multiplied from a handful of congregations to more than 60 churches and missions stretching from Virginia to New Mexico.

I was, like, FOUR when this man became Metropolitan. Unbelievable!

Take a look at Metropolitan Philip Dot Com.

While we’re at it, AGAIN magazine announces its Fall 2006 issue, “Living Stones,” and a special Nativity Gift Opportunity … check it out.

“Again magazine is the front porch of American Orthodoxy, the place we gather from all our different backgrounds to discuss issues, learn new things, and encourage each other. Pull up a chair.” – Frederica Mathewes-Green, award-winning author, syndicated journalist and radio commentator

The folks at AGAIN also hope you read THIS.

Okie doke. Gotta go. Having breakfast this morning with Max Lucado. God and dial-up willing, I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow.
