☦️ I need to admit this. Just because I am of the Faith, posting/sharing related

Orthodox Christian subject matter music, etc. doesn't mean I have it altogether or advanced in the Faith or some kind of special to be admired.

No, I struggle hourly. I do not ever want to give the appearance that I am already 'there' that I have arrived. Not even remotely. Been churched since 40 days on this earth. Doesn't mean a thing. 'Prelest'. You may think you're something, but you ain't. Easy to fall into.

I just had to share this.

Please forgive me if I have ever been offensive here in any way, shape or form.

I lift up each of you, my brothers and sisters, asking that all your needs be met and your lives be fulfilled, with goodness.

Peace Be Unto All.

I frequently enjoy them. Please continue!

Although I no longer have faith in the supernatural, the music inspired by different faiths has been bountiful and often beautiful. Messiah, Mizrahi music and Sufi music are all inspired by faiths yet one can appreciate and even love these musics without subscribing to their underlying beliefs.

Peace to you and those close to you this holiday season!
