A change in direction and name of the blog.

The focus is going to be more personal, devotional, and historical. The Apologetics will strictly be for the other blog.

There are things about Evangelism, Prayer, Fasting, personal issues and struggles, Vespers, Orthros, and the Divine Liturgy I would like to talk about. As well as a host of other things.


.

Please help those in your area around you. Sometimes the only meal that some kids get are breakfast and lunch at school. Thus when they get home they really don't have much to eat, and during the weekend is when they really struggle, and so get involved in your local community. Find out what's going on and do something about it.

I don't understand why this is so hard for me to detect in the service! I keep making mistakes at this point!
