Drawing, playing with toys, singing songs, chasing each other around the house, reading books…such great fun. Skye has five fish and a new fish tank, and she took great delight in explaining to me how it all works — well, in as much detail as an two-years-and-nine-months-old can: “Fish go here, bubbles come here, [...]
A point made in our sermon today — and a good one it was. I do not think we can ever hear this enough: at least I cannot. It is too easy to forget and I need to be constantly reminded, dull and thick brain I have. We had a visiting priest, [...]
Well, my assistant certainly got a baptism of fire: one of the servers crashed just after he left late Monday [his first day], so he came on Tuesday to be greeted with the information. A lot of chasing around, calling specialists, and doing various things. A few serious issues with PCs occurred during [...]
That is, me.

Kontakion – Tone 4:
When God the Word, the Only-begotten of the Father,
came to live [...]

[Part I]
Or rather not fitting in.
I know God is infinitely wise and that He has placed me here in Sydney in the 20th and 21st centuries for a reason: but I am not sure what it is. I feel out of place in a number of ways: and have for quite some time. [...]
Prayers appreciated for our parish, Ss Michael and Gabriel. Our priest resigned Tuesday (!) so we are currently priest-less. Our Archbishop is coming to our parish today; God willing, some news on our future will be forthcoming.
Through the prayers of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel: Lord, have mercy.
Happier news: I [...]
Shown on SBS this morning as part of World Tales: you can watch it here [it's about four minutes]. A very entertaining, and enjoyably silly, animation taken from a Tunisian folk-tale.
From the site:
For his interpretation of the Tunisian folk-tale, The King of the Birds, Hamish Koci has parodied one of Disney’s most well-loved animated [...]
