The blog of a struggling Orthodox Christian working out his salvation in Asheville, North Carolina, CSA. He worships here. This blog contains a good number of things, sometimes religious, sometimes not. To read a "full profile" on of your host, mash here. Please, remember the sinner, Huw Raphael, in your prayers.
I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it.

I am not a teacher nor a clergyman. These posts are my opinions: I pray they are in conformity with the Teachings of the Orthodox Church. If not, I beg for correction.
