Dear Friends,

I've been offline for a long time, so I am just getting my first glimpse at what's been going on here... anyways, I would appreciate any prayers you could offer for my family.

One of my nieces tried to take her life on Holy Pascha (Orthodox Pascha)! Another niece is 14, rebellious, and having all kinds of problems.

I have been trying to get my own life in order, and I can feel the results. I am more peaceful than I have been in a while. My heart tells me I'm called to be a monk. We shall see. Right now, I'm in a job that is incredibly unsatisfying, and I'm trying to figure out what to do about it. I don't know if I could make it going back to college or not, but that's somethign I've thought about. I want to study theology.

Bottom line, pray for my salvation, my friends, for we know that there is no "instantaneous salvation," as in Protestantism. It's a journey that starts in the cradle right up until the grave. Pray for the salvation of my whole family, thank you.

May the God who is the guide and end of our journey bring healing into your family and ours. May you feel His presence and find His strength to stay the course.

May you know His caring Love in ours and in those around you.
