I have so many dispensationalist friends who truly believe we should risk our lives and freedoms for the sake of Israel. Easy times have created a weak people. I suspect that this mind virus will come to terms with reality only when their children are drafted, but by then it will be too late.
Happy Father's Day to all you legends who stack for your last name. 🫡

Still I Stand
I've walked along these restless shores,
where sand betrays each step.
Grains of creeds and canon cling
to paths now lost or kept.
Years I've wandered through these winds
of doctrines from afar:
tides from Rome, Byzantium,
Reformers’ thorny scars.
Each shell I lift hums threads of truth—
which sings the sweetest song?
I've learned there are no villains here,
but pilgrims wandering on.
Some days, the ground beneath me shakes—
my faith a fragile raft.
But when storms rise in darkest night,
my footing still holds fast:
for under all the shifting sand,
beneath all fractured maps,
beyond the striving, hurt and pain
the Rock remains steadfast.
And though I know not every chart,
nor claim to know I'm right,
I stand and sing upon the Rock
my Savior, friend, and life.

Not sure when I stopped paying attention to world news, but I have to say, being out of the loop is really nice.
I've been diving into a systematic approach on the ecumenical councils and trying to understand the different perspectives between East and West even. It's clear that there was a difference in understanding about the jurisdiction and effect of the pope amongst the other patriarch's of the East, even in the early councils.
https://noeljbass.me/seeking-the-church-christ-foundedFlorida tag renewal was my painful introduction into anarchy. Forced to give big brother your census information, and you get to pay them for their "service". Let's not forget that to use a debit card has a convenience fee. All these ladies behind their glass boxes will retire to become HOA presidents.
I can usually intuitively get good at most things. Chess is not one of those things... 😓
My son better grow up to be a famous ventriloquist because constantly suffering through the random noises and voices will only be worth it if he sets us up in the future.
My mom texted me today freaking out about the price of Bitcoin. I'm oddly unaffected and uninterested these days.
Men looked tougher in old photos because they weren't smiling. Turns out the secret to masculinity is just lifelong discomfort and unresolved emotions.

I'm convinced that God gave us mother-in-law's to perfect us in patience and violent impulse control. All the masterfully crafted comebacks that never saw the light of day. My collection of silver stakes, garlic, and holy water left miserably unused...

Just got into the whole podcasting world and good grief there is a lot of technical stuff that goes into it. I mean, making the content is simple enough, but it's a different beast when it comes to visibility and marketing..
I'd love some recommendations. I'm about 30 episodes in, with content coming out every Tuesday and Thursday at 1pm est for the next several months.

Finished reading In Search of Holy Russia this morning and now working on "Guarding the Mind and the Heart" by St Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain, the recommended pre read before digging into the Philokalia.

Read through Fr. Spyridon Bailey's book "Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan" today. He does a good job talking about the banking system and the history of how we got where we are today. It almost sounds like he spent time with us here in Nostr under an alias. 🤔
Gafternoonstr. That should be a word. Could even pass in normal conversations.
