I have always found the little sayings churches put on there signs trite, silly and a number of other things. Becoming Orthodox has only increased that feeling. But ever once in awhile I run across a sign that still has those characteristics but makes me go huh that is pretty funny and ironic.

Happy 4th of July! This is a special weekend in the history of this country, it is the time we come together to celebrate our independence and show patriotism. However it always puts a sore spot on me when I see people celebrating and being patriotic while ignorantly desecrating the flag.

I realize that I am posting this a little later than I usually do, but better late than never. Here is a link to the Infancy Gospel of James in pdf format. It is unknown whether or not James actually authored this piece of tradition, however it is a worth while read. Whether or not there is any truth in it is known to the Father and Saints alone but it has much to say to us during this Christmas…
