“Theology ought to be drunk from the bottom of the Eucharistic chalice. Theology I have learned not in school but in church as a worshipper.” —Fr Georges Florovsky

I didn’t just read. I studied, and I was greatly enriched! “Paradise and Utopia” in 4 volumes by Fr. John Strickland.

After more than 2 years, I finally finished reading “Paradise and Utopia: The Rise and Fall of What the West Once Was” by Fr. John Strickland. I learned so much!

More than 600 people here. People are standing in back because there are not enough seats. A thriving church in Silicon Valley!

Visiting my son’s church in Santa Clara. It is absolutely full of young (mostly Asian) people!

The most diverse places I go are Christian churches. At my church for example we say the Lord’s Prayer every Sunday in 5 different languages.

I’ve been standing in line for 2 hours to eat soba. Then I overheard someone say, “It will totally be worth it. This is the best soba you will ever eat in your life.”

[Dwayne Cogdill @stdwayne]

I just saw a guy racing down the hill on a bicycle in San Francisco. His hat flew off which caused a stir among the people waiting in line for soba noodles.

[Dwayne Cogdill @stdwayne]

I am about to board a flight to San Francisco. A long weekend with family.
