DAY 1: Vacation Bible School 2009

Last updated on: June 15, 2009 at 6:51 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

St George Antiochian Orthodox Church and Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral team up each year to host Vacation Bible School. This year, we’re at the Cathedral with a Group curriculum: “Paul and the Underground Church”. Fr John Salem, Fr Nicholas Hadzellis and I are teaching the kids about the ancient Church (through prayer, song, and chat): using water, oil, wine, incense, and bread. Today, we did water. Q&A;, especially with the youngest youth, is always unpredictable. Fr Nicholas wound up with... Read more

BREAKING NEWS: Antiochian Bishop Smiles!

Last updated on: June 14, 2009 at 6:22 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

But first, a little back story … These two young PKs were spotted recently at the Parish Life Conference in Wichita, Kansas. (Though the content is unknown, you can almost hear them singing in this pic.) They’d obviously been drinking — but I have it on good authority that this pic was taken after their singing and not before. These guys, the St George, Houston, Bible Bowlers studied very hard and put up a good fight — finishing in fourth... Read more

He’s the Little Priest of My Single Wide Mission

Last updated on: June 11, 2009 at 5:34 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

I don’t follow Country Music (or any popular music) these days, and I was never a Sammy Kershaw fan. But, when I saw this picture of a railroad car converted into an Orthodox Chapel, that song “She’s the Little Queen of My Double Wide Trailer” came to mind. We once converted a three car garage into a very nice little Orthodox “temple” — complete with blue onion dome — which looked surprisingly similar to the one pictured here. Our first... Read more

This is STILL Not the Funniest Blog

Things won are done, joy’s soul lies in the doing.— William Shakespeare Once again this blog is nominated in the annual Eastern Christian New Media Blog Awards in the funniest category. This year, I’m up against The Onion Dome (which I didn’t even know was a blog! 🙂 For a limited time, vote here.

Gossip Girl (and Boy) Prayer

Last updated on: June 2, 2009 at 11:21 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

This is a prayer I found on the Net and have “orthodoxized” (for what it’s worth, for personal use). O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God,How Divinely pure are Thy thoughts!Thy Words only reflect wonders,Parables worthy of searching minds.I earnestly strive to follow after Thee.Help me, O Lord, to respect others,That I may never gossip against anyone.Guide me in the righteous path of life,Where sensational gossip does not exist.If by Thy will, my intervention is required,Guide me to...

Just an Old Fashioned Love Song

Last updated on: May 30, 2009 at 6:11 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

This week’s episode of the Orthodixie Podcast is about that big event of summer. But, for the Old Marrieds, here’s a little chuckle someone sent me a while back: A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. “Careful,” he said, “CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You’re cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh!... Read more

Ixnay on XB! (With a Shout!)

Last updated on: May 27, 2009 at 9:19 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

In the wee hours of Pascha, we Orthodox begin a joyful dialogue where when someone says “Christ is Risen!” the reply is “Indeed, He is Risen!” Or, “Truly, He is Risen!” In those early hours of Pascha, some folks have grown a little rusty on their Orthodox lingo. Imagine: “Christ is Risen!” “Glorify Him!” (The Christmas response.) Or … “Christ is Risen!” And the inevitable reply: “Happy Easter!” Then there’s the fun we have for 40 days in the shortened...
