Re: orthodox worship

Nick: As Clinton stated, I feel your pain, bad example. There is an old phrase, it is always darkest before dawn. The cloved-hooved one loves it when he can stir doubt, confusion and, yes depression into the mind and souls of us who fear the Great God, the Trinity You should read all of the sayings of the Desert Fathers. They were there. They knew their position, they faced the worst of mental and spiritual worlds,but they kept fighting to their human dying days. I am not saying that the devil made you do it, but I am saying that facing the faith with sword buckled on, with boldness we can face God, he says so. Demand like in the Lord's Prayer, "Give me"... in the petition portion of the prayer is a demand, respectful, like asking your father for the keys when you were 16, but with a right of a son to request reasonably of his father. We on this little thread have gotten to know you and I know all of us are praying for you. Ron
