Re: The truth about chemotherapy

Another footnote. Elder Nektary of Optina actually served his priestly guest and that priest's matushka - chocolate candies !

Re: The truth about chemotherapy

Thanks, Maria, for your intelligent summary. I never imagined that any patients would be like you described so helpfully.

Re: Say What?? - Orthodox Prayer and Buddhist Mindfulness

Joasia, it's so commendable that you are so active in registering complaints when there are questionable things said on these media shows. I guess now we realize that when you are quiet here, you are probably out there on a campaign to draw attention to mistakes made so that others do not fall into ...

Re: Blue Moon - This July 31, 2015

Did anyone else see that movie "Krakatoa East of Java" ?
I remember being shown it in school. The name Krakatoa has stayed with me always as a result.

Re: Blue Moon - This July 31, 2015

Thanks for letting us know, Maria ! I was in fact looking at my tables of moon movements this morning, thinking how I never remember to check them anymore. I always did before.
