A Glimpse Past the Big Bang

Last updated on: July 2, 2007 at 6:28 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

The following story is from Space Dot Com. The further I read, the greater my joy. My totally neanderthal comments are in italics. It may be possible to glimpse before the supposed beginning of time into the universe prior to the Big Bang, researchers now say. A man I met in El Paso last summer, John, had a “theory” about the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise — especially its connection to evolutionary theory. That is, that what we... Read more

Snips, Smells & Dead Shrimp Tails

Last updated on: July 1, 2007 at 8:29 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

A few adults and some wee volunteers were busy stuffing plastic Easter Eggs with candy and goodies. Most of them were. One creatively naughty little boy was stuffing them with something else. That would be shrimp tails. And that would be, ahem … my boy. It was the Wednesday before Lazarus Saturday – the day on which the annual Egg Hunt is held at St George. Following the Presanctified Liturgy, some folks helped to stuff the eggs for the following... Read more

LANCE: Food of gods (Too Good Not to Share)

Last updated on: June 30, 2007 at 10:01 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

I am in a Sunday School class with senior ladies, and one of them related her experience in one of the many nail salons in our area. She was puzzled about the little shrine in the corner of the establishment and asked the class, “now what you reckon that little statue was going to do with that pack of Lance cheese crackers somebody laid in front of it?” Blog Reg Roxanne commenting on the Hindu George Clooney.

Hope Y’all Had a Happy Honeymoon!

Last updated on: June 30, 2007 at 9:47 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Granted, we don’t normally think of John the Baptist when we think of HONEYMOON. In fact, we probably don’t think of the Forerunner in any other way than somber … austere … severe. John the Baptist never shows up on any of those Fantasy Dinner Guest Lists like Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Shakespeare, Plato, and Jesus. First of all there’s the whole “Repent thing” and then there’s the menu … I mean — hello! — only locusts and honey? Be that... Read more

Church of England Wants Help from Holy Homer

Last updated on: June 29, 2007 at 5:34 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

The Church of England has turned to Homer Simpson for help with recruiting teenagers. Clergy are to be advised to set up screens in churches to play extracts from the beer-swilling cartoon character’s life. An unlikely source of holiness Doh! Understatement! Youth groups could be asked to think about God’s love for humanity after watching Lisa Simpson give a Valentines Day card to the most unpopular boy in her class. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has said in... Read more

Court Rejects Orthodox Patriarchate Status

Last updated on: June 27, 2007 at 4:09 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Washington, D.C. – A Turkish court Tuesday declared that the Istanbul-based Orthodox Patriarch is only the head of the city’s tiny Greek Orthodox community and not the spiritual leader of the world’s 300 million Orthodox Christians. While this has no impact on the status of the Patriarch outside Turkey, it strengthens Turkish internal resistance to acknowledging the greater role of the Patriarch and the Orthodox community in Turkey. “This decision is yet another indication that Turkey has no interest in...

End of Hiatus, Beginning of …

Last updated on: June 27, 2007 at 7:54 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Jesus, the new Adam – the “new man” – was born in the city of Bethlehem. The word “Bethlehem” means “house of bread.” The new Adam was born in the House of Bread and laid in a Manger, a feeding trough. Many times in the Gospel (eight times in John Chapter 6, alone), Jesus refers to himself as bread. Traditionally, this is reflected in the hymn Greek Orthodox priests recite as they begin the preparation of the bread for Communion:... Read more

G2 ADVERT: Orthodox Children’s Music

Last updated on: June 26, 2007 at 7:26 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Dear family in Christ, Have you ever wondered why there is not much Orthodox Christian music out there specifically for our children? While Christian music is plentiful, there is a great need for music that is written especially for our Orthodox youth. As a current school teacher and former Youth Director at my parish, I have found that one of the most effective teachers is MUSIC. TEACHING CHILDREN is the main purpose of my music, both the “Fruits of the... Read more
