Blessed Lent! I’m in the semesterial doldrums, with a case of Spring Angsting (which does sometimes result in an impression of fever) and wondering “what shall I do next year?” Not my favorite time of the year. NOTE: The following is my private opinion; it would have probably been more profitable to talk about “keeping [...]

OCMC Causes
I mentioned a few posts ago that you can contribute to our Orthodox Mission in Moldova this summer online, but I wasn’t quite sure how. Today they created an account with causes.com, which is linked to Facebook, for that purpose.

Book Review: The Brain that Changes Itself
I read a book of pop neurology this week, The Brain that Changes Itself (Norman Doldge, 2007), and was quite impressed. Dr Doldge’s writing is similar to Malcom Gladwell, (Blink and Outliers), as well as Oliver Sacks (The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Musicophilia; his endorsement is on the book) in [...]
