"Falsehood - and only falsehood - separates us from God ... False thoughts, false words, false feelings, false desires - Behold the aggregate of lies that leads us to non-being, illusion, and rejection of God."

- St. Nicholas of Serbia

I love that questions are welcome as I continue my Orthodox journey!

Want to put a smile on the kids faces at church? Tell your priest to register an account on our site... and he'll get access to our Syndicated Comic Strip & Activity Sheet. View 3 samples below…

(Parishes are permitted to use & reproduce these activity sheets, only if their priest has created a user account on Orthodox.Church. NOTE: I paid to produce these 3 samples, but we will not be able to continue producing them each week, unless we find patrons to sponsor the monthly expense ASAP. Know someone who loves kids, and wants to make sure every Orthodox parish in America gets these each week? Send them my way!)

Friends, may I encourage you that God answers prayers? He answers prayers in His timing. Sometimes the answer is, “no.” It’s still answering your prayer even then.

If you are waiting with great expectation….

If you have been waiting a long time…

If you think He has forgotten you…

He has not.

His answers are worth waiting for.

Because when God shows up, He shows off all His mercy and grace and goodness.

Once He does, your wait will seem like it was just a blink in time. A blip on your radar. A bump in your road.

God is so very good.
