Yes, we are thankful that things are settling down with the family. The aspect about being Orthodox that I love best is--we don't judge others about their faith. We don't argue with other about our faith versus their faith. I can't say that Orthodox don't fall into that trap at times--but bottom line is--we are not supposed to argue and judge. YEs, I'll be glad when Spring arrives. Love, Sis Dear David,

I suppose also that we won't debate eastern versus western Easter/Christmas variations, and instead will rejoice in the body of Christ manifesting itself in various ways. A diet free of meat for a season, is probably beneficial, aside from the spiritual aspect, which of course is your true reason for abstinence. March is the snowiest month on average in Denver, and as I recall is not that rare in Western Kentucky. We received 30 inches here on St. Patrick's day in 2003, which virtually shut down the city for a few days. Yes, spring is right around the corner, with the promise of renewal, and the blossoming of the human spirit in tune with creation. Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons. Little Brother Nichole:

You are so kind to keep checking on our family situations. I appreciate your prayers and thoughts. Yes, I met to mention that our Lent and Easter are five weeks past the Western Lent and Easter. My prayers are with you, also, Nichole Dewdrop,

I was also pleased to read that your checkup was OK and that the other family difficulties seem to be in the past. By my reckoning your Great Lent and Holy Pascha are 5 weeks later than our Lent and Easter. May the Lord's peace be with you and your family. Dewdrop Nicole3,
