Welcome, my Romanian friend!

Someone from Romania has been visiting my blog. Is that you, Noel?? My godfather is in Romania right now... maybe he is trying to stay up on Oklahoma news. Speaking of Romania, watch this intriguing video on modern monastics in Romania. Not just any monastics, but these people are fleeing the world and living an austere life of solitude and prayer; just like in Egypt of the 400s or Russia of the 1700s.

America needs this.

This was an awesome video. Perhaps it was the monk at the end that was reading your blog.

Yeah, and with someone like Barack Obama, they're gonna get it sooner than they think. :-) -- OK, I admit that was nasty and uncalled for :-| ... but who cares! :D

I think I can already picture how his campaign-slogans while lobby-ing to the Orthodox community there looked like:

Barack Obama: so that every American will be able to lead an austere life of solitude and prayer; just like in Egypt of the 400s or Russia of the 1700s
