Sounds like u need a 'get-away' a mini sabbatical of sorts. Are there any Monasterys or Monk priests you can visit? I find it very healing mentally to just sit in a holy place and listen to the sound of holiness. Taking a small Bible or a prayer bo…

There is so much suffering in this world! It is very difficult to remember to glory in our suffering for righteous; especially when it is Elders or children. It gives this Lenten Time even more importance. To defeat evil everywhere! God be with Pat…
