Last updated on: December 19, 2008 at 2:51 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Here’s a personal favorite from the Orthodixie AFR-chives.Enjoy! Did you read about that Baby Jesus that was recently stolen from someone’s yard? Well, I decided to do something about it. I became an Investigator. The other day I went door-to-door in my neighborhood in search of … Baby Jesus. My first stop was the home of Minerva Simmons, aged 73, on Tomball Drive. She’s the owner of the giant Crèche scene … You know with the big plastic light-up Mary... Read more

Amusing Ourselves to Death

Last updated on: December 17, 2008 at 9:48 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

This life is neither a joke nor a plaything, although men may turn it into either. They fritter away the time given to us to prepare for eternity, disporting themselves with empty words. They go about visiting, sitting and gossipping, playing this or that game. They get together in the theatres and amuse themselves there. Life is, for them, amusement. But woe to those who do nothing but amuse themselves. — St John of Kronstadt Taken from Fr Josiah’s blog. Read more

Last updated on: December 15, 2008 at 4:06 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Though more than a year old, this story is timeless. Thanks to Margo Elgohary for the FWD. PITTSBURGH – Strong safety Troy Polamalu has become known around the Pittsburgh Steelers as the last guy out of the locker room on Sundays after home games. All of his teammates are long gone and even most of the equipment guys have cleared out by the time he emerges. Polamalu goes through a detailed process, including a dip in a cold tub and...

The Ghost of Past Christmas Presents

Last updated on: December 13, 2008 at 11:31 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

In last week’s episode of the Orthodixie Podcast I was unwittingly put to sleep by one of the worst Christmas songs of all time … Paul McCartney’s Wonderful Christmas Time. In my slumber I was visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past. (Then, strangely, there was Bob Marley’s Ghost.) Naturally, believing I was experiencing my own twisted version of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, I expected the second of three spirits to soon follow … The Ghost of Christmas Present....

Today being the Orthodox Feast of the Conception of the Theotokos (and yesterday, having been the Roman Catholic Feast of the Immaculate Conception) — here’s a post from a couple years back: We love Mary so much we made her blond! Don’t gasp, there is a tradition within the West of the Virgin Mary being honored with blond hair. (Pic, above left, is of the altar at the Anglo-Catholic Parish of St Mary, Grove Park, Asheville, North Carolina.) Yesterday [10/2006],... Read more
