Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Camp Podcast Mornin’ breaks over Camp Takatoka, Wagner, Oklahoma on the final full day of CSR, Sesson One, 2013 Which means another session of “Ask Abouna” (some snippets can be heard here).

Yes, this is a birthday hat fashioned by my youngest daughter — thanks for noticing! Everybody’s going GREEN these days it seems. But, not those who are YELLOW. Of course, exceptions prove the rule.

One of this year’s Arts & Crafts projects. Dress at Camp can be quite modest (especially on “Decades Night”). First:  Vespers.

There it is — the Honey Moon!  (June 24th, crack of dawn.) Better than a Toby Keith song … great fun in Wagoner! One of the apples of my eye stacks ’em high … Not pictured here — he went 5 tier! David … Goliath! “Wait.  What?”  Little pig, little pig let me come in …   Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin! More pics to come! Part ONE.

At least for a spell, the high point of Camp is getting there by bird. For a short spell, Erin’s in charge (as Fr James is on another bird). No bird analogies for Miss Sandy — but the shirt does cast a spell. While unwitting campers mill about aimlessly, little do they know about the spell to be cast upon them by … The Camp Staff. (Be very afraid.) Sufficiently sedated, the campers listen to the rules and regs for... Read more

What does John the Baptist have in common with bees, mead, honey and moons — even honeymoons?     If Zacharias and Elizabeth knew then what they know now, would they have gone through with it all? The Orthodixie Podcast on Ancient Faith Radio! Read more
