  • The Nativity Fast

    Orthodox Christians begin the “countdown” to the Feast of the Nativity of Christ (Christmas), with a 40 day Fast. This is not extraordinary, as we have a number of 40 day Fasts in Orthodox, especially before Pascha (Passover/Easter). Since we are going to begin the Nativity Fast on November 15th, I thought it would be… Continue reading

  • I will succeed

    “Are you stupid?” uttered to me the first day of kindergarten has stayed with me for 45 years and will continue to stay with me my entire life. I decided that day that I would show people I wasn’t stupid because I’m Deaf. It has, most likely contributed to me becoming an overachiever but aside… Continue reading

  • The last live performance I saw

    In September 2018, I was blessed to go to Joan Baez’s farewell concert. I’ve always admired Joan Baez. Not only her music but particularly her hands on involvement with civil rights.

We talked about politics and even… Continue reading

    What major historical events do you remember? There are so many other historical events over the past 50 years that it blows my mind to think I’ve experienced them even if only through the news and the tv. Continue reading

  • My Addiction

    My addiction is Logos Bible Software. I spend hours with it everyday. It’s on my computer, my tablet and my phone. I love reading the books and using my computer to do deeper studies. I used to have the free version but over time, I have added more books and packages when they are on… Continue reading

  • Asperger’s Syndrome

    What’s something most people don’t know about you? What most people don’t know about me is that I have Asperger’s Syndrome. As a child, I was labeled “learning disabled”. But it was more than that. I knew I was different from other people in the way I thought about things, had difficulty answering someone if… Continue reading
