Gaze of Pantocrator, Dance of Dragonfly

Last updated on: November 10, 2011 at 3:42 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Recently, St Joseph Church underwent a church make-over. Icons were installed in the “silo style” dome: 16 prophets, 12 apostles, 4 evangelists, 4 angels, 2 archangels, the Image Not Made with Hands, the Protection of the Theotokos … and a big ol’ dragonfly. A brief mediation tries to capture the beauty of the fallen (flying, whirling, buzzing, devouring, dying, batty) world, here: The Orthodixie Podcast on Ancient Faith Radio.Image Source Read more

With apologies to Steve Miller Band … This here’s a story ’bout Dean Joe from daughter, Boo … And some others with nothin‘ better to do … Than stand around the church, sing high, just like this dude … And here’s what happened when they decided to cut loose … They headed down to, ooh, not El Paso … That’s where they ran into this Man’s castle … Dean Joe looks a man who used to wrastle … Daughter Boo...

Dome Icons: St Joseph Houston (6)

Last updated on: October 27, 2011 at 8:44 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

St Joseph – Houston has been transformed over the past three weeks by the installation of icons in the church’s “silo style” dome. Last night, we had the blessing of the icons — complete with priest, deacon, altar boy, and photographer climbing up to the first platform — with holy water and censer, and about 70 faithful gathered beneath chanting. Today, the scaffold workers came to disassemble; by tomorrow afternoon all will be cleared out except the dust! The following... Read more

Embracing Faith, Facing Death

Last updated on: October 26, 2011 at 7:49 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Dear Father Joseph, I’m writing because you had a question asked [at a recent speaking engagement] … that I heard on an Orthodixie podcast, that I can answer and answer well. It was something like, “what do you do if you are Orthodox, but your family is absolutely apathetic, lost, anti-church, etc.” Well, you pray, regularly receive the Eucharist, go to confession a few times a year, and experience joy in your Orthodox faith. Concentrate on yourself and get out... Read more

Halloween … Again?

Last updated on: October 24, 2011 at 6:12 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Those who know me know I ain’t much on Halloween. I never was much on Halloween, even as a kid. It seemed a bit odd to me that perfectly normal devil-hating church folks would go all out, once a year, to root for the other side. As I popped in to Kroger the other day my eyes were accosted with the images of bogey-ness. Goblins, the living dead, spider webs, and ghoulishness everywhere. Did I mention brightly wrapped massive amounts... Read more

Teen Photographer: Icons at St Joseph (3)

Last updated on: October 16, 2011 at 7:04 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

No 13.5 year old boy was harmed in the capture of these images … As Mark … Luke Matthew John … and even an Archangel are my witness! “Basil … time to come down, Bud.” Boy says: “It’s pitch dark up top!” Dad says, “Take a picture with the flash on!” Pantocrator, coming along. That’s enough for now … Previous images: One, Two, Parish Icon Page. More later! Read more
