A valentine to think about

[rusmeister]

Hi guys! No debate, propaganda, or anything of the sort here. I'm not even sure that the Close is the best place, but since the Close relates to everything, I suppose it's good enough.

I want to share an awesome valentine from a podcaster/blogger who I find to be both amazingly mature and humble, and who's learned things that I get intellectually, but only aspire to myself. Anyway, here's a beautiful audio valentine (It's only a few minutes long):

Yes, it is beautiful. Every married couple and couple intending to marry should read/listen to it and ponder.

[Fist and Faith]

Don't encourage him, Infelice...

Hehe. JK. Yeah, it's very good.

(I just wish I could get the theme for "Bob the Builder" out of my head.)

[Infelice]

LOL Fist. Im a bit romance starved these days so anything remotely lovey dovey strikes a chord with me

Gees this is probably my first post in the Close, so i havent been THAT encouraging

Yo, It's "Steve the Builder".

When they were running the Our Life in Christ program on AFR, they had a promo offering free Bibles with Orthodox commentary to people interested in the OC. It was meant primarily for non-Orthodox people, but I expressed a wish in an e-mail to get a hold of one, and lo and behold, a month or two later I got one in the mail!

Here's his blog:

The "Curmudgeophan" character in his comics is based on a real person who died a couple of years ago.
