"Compassion: A Reflection on the Christian Life" by Fr. Henri Nouwen Although this is book was written by Roman Catholic priests, it is very good. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

I saw this film a year or so ago. It wasn't especially entertaining in my opinion, but it was interesting to see how the monastery got started. It was worth a watch. The documentary took place in Denmark. The scenery was beautiful.

How utterly tragic. My heart sank reading this news. Lord have mercy on the soul of Your servant Stephanie; May her memory be eternal.

Congratulations mctaviix! I am a convert to the Orthodox church as well. When my wife & I became catechumens, I did not expect anything spiritually significant to happen; however, after the priest blew on us, I felt the grace of the Holy Spirit really strongly for several days. I feel this...

Here's a new one. Little known medical fact: Chuck Norris invented the Cesarean section when he roundhouse-kicked his way out of his mother's womb.

Finishing college while working and raising a family.

Lord Have Mercy. Memory Eternal.

Wow! Very impressive & Beautiful pictures. Is it common for Coptic Christians in the U.S to have tatoos?

Well, if something does come up, I'll be more than happy to take those tickets off your hands  ;)

I know U2 tickets are expensive. It's too bad you paid for a show where they were off. I'm a musician as well and can usually pick up on when musicians are off. While I love U2, I have noticed there are certain songs (usually pre-Rattle & Hum era) that when Bono sings now, it just doesn't sound...

LOL! Yes, the corrected one is much more to my liking.

I thought Missouri was mid-western?  :D ;)

Memory Eternal! Les, thanks for what you did to the electric guitar!

^^Like all bands, there are occassional "off nights". Fatigue or an illness can cause that. I have seen U2 4 times in concert & they were magnificant. In my opinion, U2 has one of the best live live sounds I've heard. I like the fact that they don't sound exactly the same as the albums, but...

I just saw some videos from the new U2 360 tour. It looks pretty awesome. Unlike their last few tours, this tour is a stadium tour. Their stage is amazing (U2 usually has pretty extravagant stages). It looks like a big metal claw in the middle of the stadium. People can see them from pretty much...

It is my hope to eventually meet and have a conversation with a startets one day. My priest told me that it is useless trying to conceal your sins from a starets because it is as though you are naked before them. While this prospect seems intimidating to me, I'm sure such a holy man is wise...

The Mission and the Green Mile are two of my favorites. I have the soundtrack to the Mission and I never get tired of it. It would be awesome if some Orthodox composers could write some liturgical music that sounds similar to the music in the Mission.

Those pictures make me want to visit Greece now more than ever. What a beautiful place.
