We went to St. Louis this weekend for class, to visit, and to go to Liturgy. The kids were probably their best behaved ever for a trip to Nativity.
Fr. Tom decided we're ready to be received into the church, so on Saturday, December 9 we will be received into the Orthodox Church at Nativity of the Virgin Mary Church after Vespers.
We're really excited. We asked our friends Nick and Diane to be our sponsors, so that's cool too.
We chose our patron saints too:
Me- St. Michael, the archangel
Amy- St. Hermione (martyred daughter of St. Philip the Deacon)
Alexis- St. Alexis (Toth) of Wilkes-Barre, PA
Micah- St. Micah the Prophet
Anyways, if anyone is around and wants to show up at Nativity to see our baptisms/chrismations, you're more than welcome!

This is not the most interesting blog around. I write for myself, and allow people to listen in.

congratulations and may God grant you all many years!
question: what does it mean to have a patron saint?

BTW - I hope you know I ask questions in sincerity. I worry that given the criticism you've received you could take my questions as more of the same, they arent. Also, you don't have to let this be posted to your site. I just wanted to touch base and say hello.
