During that process, I came across an article by Kathleen Deveny in the “Modern Family” section of Newsweek that illustrated one of the many things that, [...]

Fall officially arrived Labor Day weekend. Evidently, that’s when it comes in Alaska. In our vast Alaskan experience, both last year and this year the the tree at the end of the road turned yellow in one weekend – Labor Day weekend. We are enjoying the foliage; it truly is a beautiful time of year.

I added a new link to my blog. Matthew and Anastasia Howell recently left Alaska to attend seminary at St. Tikhon’s for three years, so in order to avoid clogging their email sending pictures of their adorable baby, Luke, to all of their friends and family, they started a blog.

My good husband forwarded this to me from Bishop Joseph. I loved it – it sort of reflects things that have been on my mind and heart over the past year.
Live in gratitude, and you will never be disappointed. See that your afflictions are not there to punish you, but to purify you and cleanse you of the delusions [...]
