Sunday of the Cross

I am an Orthodox Christian; this is known by many as Greek Orthodox or Russian Orthodox. This is the third Sunday in Great Lent known as the Sunday of the Cross. It marks the half way point through lent. It is a time to rededicate ourselves to the Lord; continue the course we set at the beginning of lent of preparing ourselves for the resurrection of Christ. If you pay attention to the references in the services you will notice they start to have references to the resurrection, yet still focusing on our souls and preparing them to see the resurrection.

Besides being an orthodox Christian I have the blessing of sharing little thoughts about orthodoxy and playing orthodox chants every Tuesday evening on a local community radio station in Chico, CA. The radio station is KZFR and you can tune in each Tuesday from 10PM to midnight either at 90.1FM or on the web at www.kzfr.org. For a little blurb about the show look at http://www.kzfr.org/shows/gentleLight.html.

Well that's it for now. Mostly you will see posts bound up with something I am working on at the moment. This post is just to give a little more information about who I am.
