The Cowboy Rides Away

Best reason to go to Dallas, Texas: the final show

Where I was this weekend...

Any guesses where and why?

Good for a laugh

Irreplaceable

We went with a group of friends to see this last night - not what I was expecting, and absolutely worth the time.  We were pleasantly surprised by a couple of moments in particular.  As the narrator sets off on a journey to explore what family is and why it is important to society, he determines to start where it all began.  He journeys to Greece and Rome, and the first images of faith in the film are of an Orthodox priest.  Frederica Matthewes Green is interviewed in the film as well.  It was a very moving film about the importance of love and the family within society, with the revelation that the true irreplaceable love is that of our Heavenly father.

Look Up

Pascha in the atrium

We had a joint celebration this year, so all of our children ages 3-12 gathered together in our chapel.  Father came and led our celebration, and the children did all of the readings.  It was a beautiful and special time together!

Our chanters came in and chanted as the children entered.

Singing Christ is Risen!

After our celebration we each returned to our atrium and the children had a short time to work.  One of our girls settled herself in front of the prayer table and spent the rest of her morning drawing the Paschal candle.
