An occasional record of one man's struggle for the salvation of his soul; or, the intersection of the Faith once for all delivered to the saints with the life of a man and a father.
The secret sauce to the Orthodox way of life is that it is frequently so boring and often very tedious.The Sunday Liturgies are the same year after year.The Sunday Gospels are the same, season after season.We confess the same sins over and over again.There are only so many ways you can dress up lentils and beans fast after fast.Morning prayers.Mealtime prayers.Evening prayers.How many “begats” can Scripture have?It’s all so very, very tedious and uninteresting.This is a good thing.It is a very good thing.
