Lenten Reading

With Great Lent just around the corner, I have started to gather reading material for this fasting season. For the past couple years I have read Ascending the Heights A Layman's Guide to The Ladder of the Divine Ascent by Father John Mack. I look forwarding to reading this each Lenten season as a constant reminder of the "rungs" I need to work on. I will also be reading The Royal Way of the Cross of Our Lord Leading to Eternal Life. This will be my first time reading it. I look forward to the gems it will hold.

I would like to get back in the habit of reading more and being less distracted and concerned with worldly matters. I have a night stand full of books to read and have either started them and not finished or haven't even started them. Many of them are books that I have read in the past that I would like to read again and others are new. I will try and post any other books I have time to read during this season.

What books are you reading this Lenten season?

Our Orthdox Journey

I often find myself at a loss for words when it comes to blogging. I am not sure what to post about. With three young ones my day changes from hour to hour. The one thing that remains and does not change is our Orthodox Faith. It is the one thing constant throughout our day.

To help with finding words to post about, this blog is going to have a purpose. My purpose with this blog is to share our Orthodox journey so that one day I will be able to reflect back on all our special moments and to utilize it for plan making for the following years liturgical cycle. 

I pray that I will be able to find the time to post more frequently and share our Orthodox life with others. One thing I would like to disclose is that we follow the old calendar, our dates on the secular calendar may differ from others.
