Church, Snow, and Bright Week
Today we headed off to church with wet roads and a rainy, icy pellet mix. When we were all finished there was about 3" of snow on the roads and by the time I got home there was at least 4"-5". We made it home but our van did not. Moby (guess what color it is  ) will have to spend the night slightly on a neighbor's lawn (better than on their mailbox). We have a hill that is just steep enough to make going up in snowy or icy weather near impossible. I heard from reliable sources that there are 2 other cars keeping Moby company tonight.
The 1st Sunday in Lent the Orthodox Church celebrates the Triumph of Orthodoxy. Fr. Matthew Jackson has a nice sermon explaining the historic event. But the best part of today's service at our parish was the Chrismation of a friend of mine. May God Grant Andrea many years!
We're one week into Lent and my kids have already begun putting in meal orders for the first week after Pascha. Silly kids. |

In my case, someone who loves God and seeks His will, living in a country where I am free to believe what I want without fear of persecution... the attacks on my faith have mostly come from within. I have at times been decieved. I have at times avoided or finessed the troublesome parts of the Bible. The scales will be removed one day and I shall see clearly, but not on this side of eternity.
So glad you made it home safely from church. We went only to find a "Sevices Cancelled" sign on the door. Still snowing here ~
