Today, 6 June 2008, is the 64th anniversary of the Normandy invasion during WWII. Although I must say one would hardly know that from watching the news of late. I know, I know, there is a Presidential primary going on and everyone is in a frenzy over it but I mean come on, we could take some time to discuss the sacrifice made by so many on this day, so many years ago.

I ask those reading this blog to take note of the fact that today is Memorial Day in the United States of America. It is the day we remember our fallen military brothers and sisters.

I had intended to continue posting about the material contained in my last post but of recent I have become very busy so everything is delayed and postponed for now.

Over the last few weeks, since a little before Pascha, I have been taking note of what seems like a growing trend (a disturbing trend) in the news, that is, they are reporting on more and more sexual abuse cases. These cases include everything from rape cases, date-rape cases, underage sex and/or violence, teachers abusing children by having sex with them (both male and female teachers), and

A little reading for Great Lent from a contemporary, Elder Paisios whose sagacity is especially important in the Church today.We once asked Father Paisios, "Father, you constantly tell us to think positively. We would like you to give us some advice on how to deal with when "People come to tell us that various priests charge a great deal of money for performing the Holy Mysteries. They claim that

My Dear Friends and Family,Today in the Orthodox Church as many of you know is Forgiveness Sunday the day before Great Lent begins. It is also the time during which the Church asks us to reconcile with our brothers and sisters, a call to repentance. For those who have seen or been on the receiving end of misplaced temper, frustration, and anger I ask your forgiveness.For those of you who I have

As I again prepare to enter into the Great Fast, I again realize that I am behind where I should be in my spiritual preparation for this wonderful time of year. What I mean by that is, like many others in the world, I have allowed myself to become too weighed down with worldly matters. The good news is that the Church realizes that most of us will be in this exact same position and hence that

This post is a few days late but I still wanted to post it. This past Sunday was the Sunday of the last judgement, it is also known as Meat-fare Sunday, because after this day in the Orthodox Church we start fasting (abstaining) from eating meat as part of our ascetical journey into Great Lent.

Over the last few days (weeks) there has been a lot of ink (digital and otherwise) spilled about how the press are treating the two democratic candidates for president. The really funny thing is it is obvious to me, and others on the republican side of the house, as to what the real reason is behind this special treatment that Sen. Obama is receiving from the press. First and foremost, the

Over the last few weeks, the New York Times newspaper has done the incredible. First they came out and gave Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) their nod of endorsement for the presidential nomination. At the time, the republicans still had other contenders in the race: Romney, Giuliani, and even Huckabee still had a chance back then. Then, the Times decides to run this article claiming that the senator

Do you remember this commercial from back in the 70's and 80's? Is it live or is it Memorex? Usually, there would be some video clip and the company would show us the taped version to illustrate how their brand could reproduce the real thing. Over the last few days I have been thinking a lot about this commercial. It reminds me of what we are trying to do with the tragedy of September 11,

Over the last few days there have been a number of items in the news and after reading about them (or watching) I am wondering why they are even considered news worthy in the way they have been reported. Do we really need as much detail as we have seen on Mel Gibson arrest for DUI? --I don't think so. I don't think so even if he made the remarks he is accused of making. That is something that

I really have to agree with this Rabbi. This is an excerpt from an MSNBC.com article. I also have to wonder, if there would be as much outrage, if the remarks allegedly made by Mr. Gibson, where anti-Christian instead of anti-Semitic? Just something to think about?Driving While Anti-SemiticInstead of getting angry over Mel Gibson’s bigotry, let’s look at the real moral outrage: drunk

It has been about two weeks since the war between Israel and Hezbollah, and by default Lebanon, began. I have been watching and observing along with the rest of the world praying that this doesn’t turn into something larger. There have been some interesting things which have taken place over the last two weeks since hostilities erupted which are important to note.Since the war began, the

In today's NY Times Op-ed (note to read this editorial, or others, you must now pay for them), page A-19, Mr. Nicholas D. Kristof came up with a wild and wacky editorial titled: The Dear Leader's Boiling Cauldron. The premise behind this article was basically that, the fault of what is now going on in North Korea, is the fault of President Bush. Allow me to explain. Mr. Kristof believes that

I watched Meet the Press tonight, and the topic was North Korea and the six or two party talks, in relation to bringing this situation to a resolve. The people discussing the issue were: Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM), Ashton Carter, and former Ambassador Robert Gallucci, State Department, Ambassador Nicholas Burns, and of course the host of the show Tim Russert. The idea being put out was that

There is a lot going on in the world today, and to be honest much of it is annoying the hell out of me! That being said, I made the mistake tonight of stopping at Hollywood Video and picking out a DVD called, Why We Fight(1).
