    Obedience

    I do it too, read the news, it causes me distress and feeds my anxiety but it's like I'm somewhat addicted to it. If it's bad or scary I'm like a moth to a flame right towards it. I've been thinking lately that it's a temptation and that I really should stop. I think your family telling you to...

    God's Punishment/Judgment - EO View

    I don't understand either. I wish hell didn't exist. Through the intercessions of the Theotokos may the Lord have mercy on us all.

    God's Punishment/Judgment - EO View

    The chandeliers are intentionally reinforced to safely withstand the swinging. Yes they do look a bit scary to me too. But they are safe. I've read a couple of explanations why they are swung. One is that the swinging chandeliers represent the angels in heaven flying around and rejoicing at...

    Greek Orthodox monk stylin' in his velomobile in Chicago

    I somewhat know Fr. Ephraim! He confessed me once at a monastery in Wisconsin. He's very affable and after I noticed it was him in the article I was not the least bit surprised he would be using something like that. I pray he stays safe in Chicago. I love how he's using this submarine on wheels...

    Thoughts on this YouTube channel?

    I used to watch Pete's channel a lot a couple years ago but had to stop because the subject matter was scaring me and stressing me out. He has some miracles on there that I found edifying and helpful. From my interactions with him and watching so many videos I found him to be very sweet and...
