| The blessing of cassocks. St. Tikhon's Seminary September 3, 2005 |
The prayers of family, friends, and kind readers have guided us safely from the parched lands of Texas to the sylvan highlands we find ourselves in now. I beg your continued prayers as this new phase of our lives begins.
A thank you to my family for their material and spiritual support.
A thank you to the faculty and students of the seminary for their counsel.
A thank you to my children for their willingness to pull up tent stakes and make new friends.
A thank you to my wife for her kind words of encouragement, unflappability in times of difficulty, and unflagging patience.
For You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
For by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.
As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
To round out this post, Archpriest Chad Hatfield's orientation speech at St. Vladimir's given today (H/T: Fr. Dn. David).

ReplyDeleteWhat are u studying? Is this leading to ordination as an Orthodox priest?
ReplyDeleteYes, indeedy. :) And in other news, I may visit Malaysia later this year for work.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. If you do drop by, do let me know and we can get in touch, especially if you visit my island of Penang =) Congrats. But I wasn't aware that there are any Orthodox Churches in Malaysia, except an Indian Orthodox one in KL.
ReplyDeleteSecular work. I will be a church tourist though. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteAndrew, I believe that there is a small mission in KL that is served by Fr. Daniel from Singapore once a month, or something like that. It would be under the EP, though I don't know its ethnic make-up. The parish in S'pore is quite diverse.
