TRIP
Off to another Monastery in our Order this weekend and won't be back for a few days.

DISAPOINTMENT
Well, we got word the Russian orthodox group won't be coming here after all. But it brings to mind once again this tremendous draw to Orthodoxy I've had for 3 years. I feel I must become as familiar with it as my own tradition.

RUSSIAN ORTHODOX PASCHA
I am filled with joy! A Russian orthodox church has asked to use our chapel for its Pascha services. I hope to experience them too.
Can't wait to share this with my Orthodox monk friend in Europe.
