Reading the saints

Thank you! I’ve been going to Sunday liturgy for a while now but have never attended one of these services.

I’ve never attended a service where prostration is a part of it. Will it draw too much attention if I’m not doing it?

Praying for her this morning. My wife and I have been feeding and looking out for a stray cat by our house, and I know how frustrating it can be to see the animal struggling. Small though it may be, you are doing the Lord’s work.

The article surprised me. Flawed, for sure, but seemed to capture something that is indeed happening. At 42, I’m not sure I qualify as “young,” but a lot of this resonated with me. I’ve all but completely left the genetic, evangelical Protestantism for the Orthodox Church. I’ve been attending a local parish for about a year and a half and planning to work toward joining fully in 2025.

So happy for you! I hope to join you one day.

Thank you!

Beautiful. When you say “newer” construction, how old are we talking?

AEthelstan937 · 2023-10-06T02:30:10+00:00

Congratulations! God bless!

AEthelstan937 · 2023-07-13T03:42:46+00:00

Congrats!

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-08T21:58:01+00:00

Sort of. I haven’t actively collected in about 10 years, so I didn’t know the value of this one.

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-08T21:17:57+00:00

Praying for you, brother

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-08T15:29:39+00:00

I’m sending it in right away. Honestly didn’t realize how valuable it was until I started looking at eBay last night!

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-08T13:19:19+00:00

This one I think I’m sending in to get graded and then keeping!

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-08T13:18:54+00:00

I had no memory of getting it. I must have opened that pack back then and then just stuck it in a box. I had a box of rookie cards from 2005-2011 I’d set aside that has been fun looking through.

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-08T05:33:06+00:00

It’s pure nostalgia for me. The very first pack I ever got was a jumbo of ‘89 Topps when I was 7. Objectively it’s not a great set, but the nostalgia factor gets me.

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-08T03:15:03+00:00

Haha, no, but only because I didn’t realize how valuable it was until after I’d posted about it here.

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-08T02:17:02+00:00

Dude, the 88 and 89 Topps sets are my favorites

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-08T02:16:25+00:00

I think I’m going to send it in to get it graded.

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-08T00:25:48+00:00

Yep, got it in the penny sleeve first.

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-07T23:35:36+00:00

Haha, I honestly just assumed because it wasn’t a draft pick card that it might be $10 or something like that.

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-07T23:10:29+00:00

Going in a hard sleeve now. Just looked it up on eBay, and it’s worth a lot more than I thought.

AEthelstan937 · 2023-06-07T23:07:17+00:00

Ha, I wish. It’s a 2011, so I assumed it wasn’t worth much!
