With the Feast

It was so good to be in Church this morning.

And I did have ice cream today :)

My favourite ice cream is a simple one - Neapolitan

strawberry, chocolate and vanilla;

yumm!

Thank you all for your encouragement and prayers

RE: my French test prep.

I think it is hard for me in part

because of the pressure of it

i.e. the two year position I interviewed for

is on the line...

I am savouring more summer strawberries!

Wishing all of you on the old calendar a

wonderful Feast of St. Peter and Paul!!

*

Mary, if you have not heard already,

has gone back online;

we are all so happy to welcome her back!

*

I am fascinated with the new

first ever in North America

Orthodox College

that hopes to open its doors in 2011.

I am sure I am one of many wishing it very well;

Ancient Faith Radio had a great podcast interview about it.

*

Am seeking to remember Elizabeth's Mother in my prayers;

please remember her also in yours...

*

I am so grateful for my church family and my

blog community as well

for the prayer support we can provide for each other.

Through Mary's blog I found this story about

a girl that World Vision helped

from Gail Hyatt

(wife of Micheal Hyatt, CEO of Thomas Nelson)

Not an easy story to read;

but it is good to be reminded not only of the good that

is being done in the world

but also of how fortunate many of us are...

*

I recently heard stats about human trafficking of

young girls and women

including from Ukraine and

it is really horrible.

So much to pray for

so much to be thankful for.

*

May God have mercy on us

and all those suffering deeply in places that we are not

aware of...
