All without Facebook!

I've been blogging for a couple of years now. All of a sudden, I've started following friends' links to other friends' blogs, and I'm reading about the lives of people I went to college with years ago. (1999--so...last millennium!) Some of the blogs I've found are people I knew as friends back then, and others are friends of friends. Either way, it's nice to connect again, if only in cyberspace. The people made that place great and my best memories of college have to do with the people and the friends I made there.

It's also nice to know I've still been able to avoid the Facebook/MySpace pages. Now that my mom's gone to the dark side, however, I don't know how long I'll be able to hold out.

Sunday of Orthodoxy

As the Prophets saw, as the Apostles taught, as the Church has received, as the Teachers express in dogma, as the inhabited world understands together with them, as grace illumines, as the truth makes clear, as error has been banished, as wisdom makes bold to declare, as Christ has assured, so we think, so we speak, so we preach, honouring Christ our true God, and his Saints, in words, in writings, in thoughts, in sacrifices, in churches, in icons, worshipping and revering the One as God and Lord, and honouring them because of their common Lord as those who are close to him and serve him, and making to them relative veneration.

This is the faith of the Apostles; this is the faith of the Fathers; this is the faith of the Orthodox; this faith makes fast the inhabited world.
