"Everything you do, all your work, can contribute towards your salvation. It depends on you, on the way you do it. History is replete with monks who became great saints while working in the kitchen or washing sheets. The way of salvation consists in working without passion, in prayer…. May God give you the strength to keep your spirit, your mind, and your heart in the spirit of Christ. Then everything that happens to you can very quickly be radically transformed. What was tiresome and discouraging will disappear, transfigured by your desire to be there where Christ your God is." Elder Sophrony

Don't judge a book by its cover or a restaurant by its...


decor?


Today the kids and I were out shopping for Father's Day. Hunger set in and and I remembered this little out of the way place. We had often driven by in the past, but never stopped. Today we finally had the courage to go in and give the food a try. WOW! What we were missing! Sure, it looked somewhere between fire hall and hunting trophy room, but the food was delicious!!! I am going to have to walk the full five miles this evening-but it was so worth it. Remember now, don't judge a restaurant by its decor...or lack thereof!
