Not in the way I used to mean it. Since Chris moved back to New Hampshire, it feels like he’s home again, even though he lives two hours away, so it doesn’t feel as deathly quiet around here as it used to (even though it actually is!).
No, what I’m referring to is that I’ve [...]

Update on New Kid

A couple of people left comments on my post concerning the “New Kid on the Block,” so I thought I’d respond this way.
Catherine — it just gets better and better. He’s just such a nice person. New priests often come with an Agenda. Fr. Dean saw himself as revitalizing an aging community, [...]

…this is what you get up to.
This is an adaptation of an Ellen Maurer-Stroh cross-stitch design of roses and lilies. I charted them out on top of a St. Olga cross, and the idea is to stitch this design onto at least two analoy covers: one for the main analogion in the church [...]
New Kid on the Block

Over the past six or so years, all my readers have been very patient with me as I’ve done my “wandering Jew” act through various jurisdictions and parishes — something I do truly deplore, but with my home parish having become something of a laboratory for the Orthodox/Catholic experiment, I didn’t feel I had much [...]

…he looked it, the young man standing in church four Sundays ago, up there in Jordanville. Very Russian-looking, short blond hair, slight build, looking very solemn and serious — with three children clustered around him, two little girls about 7 or 8, and a little boy about 3.

Yes, I know I’ve been back for two weeks. The first week, Jim was still working from home, so the computer was virtually unavailable. The second week, while he was gone on a business trip — believe it or not, I was still catching up from my trip to Jordanville!
And what a trip [...]
