Christ is Risen!


Be Poets of the Logos!

Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh". This is the blog of a Southern Man (sojourning in Buffalo, NY) attempting to follow God in the way of Jesus.

I am a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church in America (ROCIA). We are growing a Mission community here in Buffalo.

First Night



Hanukkah1.jpg

Hag Sameach – or even S’praznikum! – to those as celebrate the Festival of Lights: most especially to Avi and Tamara and the rest over at Jews By Choice!!

Following some suggestions in the 70s-style The Hanukkah Book (see in the side bar), I’ve been exploring local materials. This is a NC Mountains menorah: made from Cheerwine Bottles. (There’s really only one place left to get ‘em in glass any more.) I’ve designed a container for it but that actually makes it larger than my window. So there’s more work to do.

I had it in my head that “Cheer” and “Wine” were both good points of celebration for the holiday. And also that the slogan “it’s good taste – on all occasions” was apropos. The red logo and the green bottle may need some work…

    Hey there!

    Wow, I got a mention on the Sarx. Thanks so much.

    Happy Chanukah, or as I say Cha-noo-ka to you as well! May this season of lights bring you only wonderful times and joy. The beautiful thing of this time of year is whether we are Christians or Jews…LIGHTS at this time of year we do have in common.

    Now, an odd question for you, but why was my anti-spam word qu33r. Sounds queer to me :)

    My custom anti-spam words are all, well… custom :-)
