re: Every Orthodox Easter these 2 churches fire thousands of rockets at each other

Yep, that is disturbing. But there is hope, especially for Christianity here in America. Why am I so opptimistic? I subscribe to an online service (DivineOffice.org) that I use to do my Morning and Evening Divine Office Prayers. One of the unique features of this service, is the graphic of a rotating earth. Every subscriber praying the DO at that moment is represented by a point of light on that globe.

So no matter when, or where I pray the DO I am never alone. Some brother or sister somewhere on God's beautiful earth is praying with me.

Now, here is the really exciting part. This morning as a gorgeous sunrise plastered the sky in color, I sat on my back porch and as I enjoyed the light show God provided me, I glanced at that rotating earth and to my delight there were 2,475 Divine Office Prayers (IMO an all time high) reciting the Morning Prayers with me. And a majority of the points of light were here in America, concentrated in the south, midwest, and east. And yes, mingled among those points of light - mine.

I just had to share this goodnews with my TD friends. The point of all this - all is not lost. Jesus, I trust in you.

.....satan accuses, Jesus affirms.

Domine, Deus meus, Rex meus, Omnia mea credo, adoro, spero, et amo. Amen
