Trust in God

Prov. 3 Verses 5 to 6 [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Perhaps we do not need more gun laws. perhaps we need more prayer, more mercy toward one another, more compassion, more marriages, more families, more God in schools. Events such as what happened in Texas, and what have…

perhaps now, more than ever, we need a bit of revelry?

Not too long form now, the Queen of England, Elizabeth the 2nd will be celebrating 70 years of service to her country. her majesty has served her country with dignity, humility, and class. I am an America. I am 54 years old. this means i have never known any other person on England’s throne. I watched as princess Diana and Charles were married, when she present Prince William to the world after…

Life is what happens when we are making plans

I have been taking a break from blogging. Since walking away from unpleasant family dynamics last year, fake holidays like Mother’s and the upcoming, Father’s Day are stressful. My emotions are all over the place and social media makes it worse. Not just the rigamarole of ads, memes, and posts all focused on the glory of motherhood, but also the never-ending, and seemingly on the rise, post…

The Angel with Golden Hair

Current practice project Since our guild meetings are only once a month, I thought I would start a new practice project to work on while I wait. This is what wikipedia has to say about The Angel with the Golden Hair: The Angel with Golden Hair (Russian: Ангел Златые власы, Angel Zlatye Vlasy) is a tempera icon by an unknown Russian artist, painted in the second half of the 12th century. It is…

Mary Magdalene movie- Netflix review

Let me start by saying I really wanted to like this movie. Aside from Mary, the Mother of God, Mary Magdalene is perhaps one of the most controversial women of the bible. She has been constantly vilified and has endured character assassination throughout history. All of that is for another blog post. I watched the trailer for this movie and thought, ‘Why not?’. Right off the bat I see they used…

Orthodox Christian Holy Week

READING SCRIPTURE I was visiting some Youtube channels that I had watched during my ‘seeker time’ before I converted. I was looking at scripture reading plans and came across a video I will share with you below.

Getting back to church and a la cart topics

Next week is Passion Week. Tomorrow is Palm Sunday. There will be a liturgy every morning next week plus all of the services for Pascha. I have been gone from church so much that people had begun to ask my sister if I had moved! It is a delicate balance trying to attend when there are not too many people in attendance but wanting/needing to attend and trying not to bring home any germs that might…

Suffering as a Christian and Passion Week

St. Mary of Egypt. Yes, that is a lion in the background. It is digging her grave. If you have ever suffered as a Christian and have been part of a certain heretical doctrine that states ‘really good’ Christians should never suffer because if you live your life right the blessings of God over take you and you are a happy little saint right here on earth, (Whew… breathe), I hope you will read…

Christianity being hit by cancel culture on all sides?

At every Christian season, pagans and wiccans love to point out things they think are accurate about Christianity in what I think is an attempt to under mine it or ‘de-legitimize’ it some how? I’m not sure why they do this but I especially do not under stand why supposed Christians do it. THIS popped up on FB the other day. My response to these sorts of things is always this… The Tony Stark…

Archangel Michael From Fun! Who are my introverted followers? Can you relate? I do not get out very often these days. I spent 3.5 hours at the guild meting yesterday talking, laughing, learning, painting. I fell asleep at about 7:45 while watching, The Ten Commandments. Side note… I JUST found out that the hottie who played ‘Joshua’ was none other than John Derek… THE John Derek, Bo Derek’s…

Fanning the flames of dissent

I ‘found’ Leah Remini’s IG account. I say ‘found’ because it was not lost… I just never before thought to look it up. I love her outspoken response to Scientology. As I was watching her reels, and listening to her talk about Scientology, I started thinking about my days as an Evangelical. There are many similarities; the control, the money, the condemnation, and more. I pray more Evangelicals…

Protestantism in a scripture nutshell

This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ Jeremiah 6:16

Writing icons

My pigments arrived on Friday. Because I was ill and could not attend the last guild meeting, I am far behind the rest of the class. The meetings last several hours and we cover quite a lot of ‘ground’ as we work (no pun intended). I will be busy catching up before the next meeting this Saturday.

I hate animal activist groups

Allegedly. And also I did not make this meme and I have no money so please do not sue me. Seriously. I have been blogging for 10 years now and I have not made a cent. There you are, minding your own business watching t.v. or videos on IG, and suddenly BOOM! You are bombarded with images of animals that have been neglected,or the new one by PETA today of the sound of an owl being tortured. This…
