Christ and a life of interior prayer always beat mushrooms. Every time. :)

Sounds Like The Ideal Retreat...

We all know the band... :)

Sometimes it's ok to be still, and say nothing.

That's basically what it is... Just saying.... Maybe stick to a paper journal and e-mail. Much safer.

Serious book recommendation here. Read it.

Nature is beautiful. Helps cheer you up, too.

Flee. Live In A Tree Stump. Make friends with squirrels and doves.

Hey, Christ created forests. It's ok to love them.

Nothing wrong with appreciating, enjoying, and caring for the created world.

Your struggle with depression does not exclude you from growing in holiness, virtue, or nearness to God.

Because some Christians dress like Kurt Cobain and groove to the Grateful Dead. And that's just awesome.

For all of those Catholic / Orthodox / Desert Fathers appreciating followers of Christ with no home. Do the best you can. +

Hoping for the restoration of all things, creatures, and people to God through Christ.

No one wants war. Pray for peace. On both sides.

If you look forward to Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox ecclesial reunion and prefer solitude, this is for you. ^_^

For the Folk-Rock loving Catholic, Orthodox, Arminian, or Wesleyan in your life. :)

Only friends one needs when everyone else is gone.

Sometimes it's healthy to get away, pray, and detach.

Mandolin, banjo,and fiddle music go really well with the Philokalia. Just saying.

Just working on my inner monasticism skills.

This might even help you make a friend. :) There's gotta be others like us out there.

The social anxiety will never leave. So I've leaned into dogs as friends. Worth it. Far less scary. No talking. Lots of hugs.

Story of my life trying to blend in with other Christians. I give up... I'm heading over the the donut table now.

Put your innate fear of people to work for your spiritual growth. :) I do!

Whether you're an avid camper or preparing for the imminent collapse of society, this design has you covered, either way. Even invites people along!

My favorite is the "Jesus Prayer", or variations thereof. +

Seriously, why watch rubbish on TV when there's a storm blowing in? Get the lawn chairs out and watch the sky.

Honestly, partisan politics makes everything worse. Plus no one ever shuts up about politics. Discipleship for the win; nuance, compassion, wisdom, and helpful works.

Let folks know where you stand on verbal communication right off the bat.

Let folks know from the word "go" that you don't talk much.

Both are God-given and valuable helps.

Both Are God-given and valuable helps.

He's our Teacher, Peace, Love, and Salvation. In Hindi and in English, too. :)

My favorite prayer.
