Indeed He has risen!
Cool! I'll be right over. hehe
I seem to be stuck in an infinite loop over here. All that food was so good it calls for a cigarette. I pause to remember where my cigs are and realize I don't smoke anymore. Then I go back to what I was doing. Few minutes later it occurs to me that a cigarrete would be in order and the cycle repeats. :)
Changing the subject again...
I sat at a table with a friend (we got catechized together) and got into talking about the dewberries that grow wild in these parts. Church property is simply drowning in them. She's been turning them into jam. I mentioned I've been thinking about brewing them into beer or maybe even wine. On that prompt, her mom recommends making wine (and adds that the beer would likely suck) and starts telling me about all of the wine her family has made from them over the decades (nearly a century). So I got good food AND a good education. Try and top it! ;)
Sucks to be you; I slept 'til noon. No, but seriously, that is what usually happens to me too. I was pretty exhausted though. I tried to squeeze in a nap yesterday and only pulled off about 20 minutes or so. Unlike some people we know who got 3 hours *cough cough*!
When I let my dog out into the bright, cool morning, he did his usual "joy-run" around the back-yard. It seemed a little more joyous today than usual!
Perceptive dog! I can top it. ;) We have Easter lillies at church that waited until Holy Week to bloom.
Oh, and one more thing...
Christ is Risen!!!
/The Lord is risen, Alleluia! He is risen indeed and has appeared unto Simon, Alleluia!/
Vistina Voskrese!
Indeed he has!
Christ is risen --- Xristós Anésti
Truly He is risen --- Alithós Anésti
That was my job yesterday. Man, that is one killer test of willpower!
Indeed He is risen!
Indeed He is risen!
....Voistinu Voskrese!
........Alethos Anesti!
WHat a glorious Pascha it has been. I invited non-Orthodox
friends (as I usually do) and they really enjoyed it, too.
I've come to the conclusion that we do Pascha hymns like
Western Christians so Christmas carols.
The Gospel was read in 14 languages. Orthodoxy is often
dismissed as "ethnic" but our parish is hte most multi-ethnic
church I've ever beenh part of.
I ate too much :-(
I've had less than two hours sleep but I'll catch up.
I ***LOVE*** Pascha
"I ate too much :-("
I have a terrible stomach ache...happens every year and I never learn!
"I've had less than two hours sleep but I'll catch up."
I'm off to bed in the next few minutes, after a good shower (I stink of lamb!).
Indeed He is Risen!
(My family stayed at a hotel near our mission's mother parish after the Paschal Liturgy and breaking of the fast, had a day outing to a botanical
garden, then back for Agape Vespers and a lamb dinner).
Thank you. Hugs to you!
Hope you are sleeping now or have caught up!
