Much ado---

Fr. Victor called to ask me if my current job deadline would interfere with Chrismation and I was going to say yes just to avoid the whole thing but I told him no, it was still on. He asked if I had a sponsor and I said the person I asked declined after giving me a healthy dose of judgment. So I said seeing as I didn't need one I would just as soon ( Read more... )

Working nights? ex_anastasi575 June 27 2007, 12:31:39 UTC

This must be a really tough deadline. Not that I'm not familiar with working nights: I had to put up with six years of studio in the school of architecture.

I wish you all the best for your Chrismation. I hope your spiritual father can find you a good sponsor. God help you in everything!

It is a tough deadline....I review medical records and at the end of each quarter the findings have to be sent to the State of Pa. Sp usually the last week of March, June, Sept. and Dec. are bad weeks. I recently switched companies but my old company asked if I would work part time until they got a replacement. So I have the deadline for my new employer and the same deadline with the old. As the old company hired my replacement another employee quit so I was asked to stay again. So my schedule has been 8:30am to 5pm at the full time and 6:30pm to 12:30am at the part time, getting home around 1:30am. So I thought my end was over tonight but they asked me to help with another hospital so it won't be until Sunday when I'm done. So the Chrismation is iffy. If I can leave work, get chrismated, go back to work, maybe I can do it. Then on Sunday, which would be my first Orthodox communion (had many Roman Catholic communions) I would need to do the same....attend liturgy and then go back to work ( ... )

So you have three tough deadlines at the same time. Too bad this great feast falls at the end of June. God help you in all!

Things never work out as planned. This may be your opportunity to prove you want this Chrismation more than anything. Anyway, from my experience, skipping liturgies has never helped me at school/work, while going to church seems to energize me, so to speak.

I'm glad your going ahead with it. It'll be good!

Did he offer any suggestions for a sponsor?

sufitom June 28 2007, 06:21:19 UTC

Yes we both agreed on a couple of names and he said he would make some calls.

barbarakelley June 28 2007, 19:38:12 UTC

oh, good. Sounds like you're on your way.

Glad you're managing to plow through all that work--what will you do for a sponsor?

sufitom June 28 2007, 06:22:12 UTC

We came up with some names and he will makes some calls, so like it or not, I'm having a sponsor.

Offering prayers that all will work out. :)

Hey there,
Saw I have a missed call from you! Sorry I missed it...I went to bed around 9pm last night because today is the day I begin the Great Journey to Florida.:)
Would definitely like to catch up. Andrew's closing on our home in 2 weeks, so as soon as I get back I'd love to have you over.:)
In the mean time, let's talk on the phone. I know we have tons to catch up on, and I've missed you.
