Sunday. Somehow it's gotten to be the last day of September, 2018

                                   __________Matthew 13:47

  

     

     Again, the 

     kingdom 

     of God 

     is like a 

     net that

     was thrown 

     into the sea 

     and caught fish of every kind  *

                                                              I had all these 

                               great graphics 

                          of nets with tons 

                      of fish. ANd then 

                    God chuckled and

              whispered, "To catch 

          fish, you have to be

      out on the sea.”

at Radonezh near Mos-cow. At the age of 20, he and his brother began  a life of seclusion in a nearby forest, from which developed the Monastery of the Holy Trinity, a center of revival of Russian Christianity.
