Its like everyone everywhere is constantly on edge, tired, irritated and angry. I don't know where this thought came from, but it came to me yesterday and hasn't left me.
Lord have mercy ☦🙏🏼

If i had to explain it in* words, it felt like i very suddenly became aware of "The Spirit of the Age" as per Christian theology (and eschatology). And i'm sure its not just winter fatigue, it really feels like Humanity is collectively holding its breath waiting for that loud boom, that flash, that SOMETHING. I know for a fact that i expect sirens anytime soon now.
Find an Orthodox parish near you. Chances are you live closer to one than you think. Go easy on yourself, start by going to Saturday vigils and Sunday liturgies. Ask the pastor some questions, but maybe in a more polite way than niche internet forum parlance. If you are already baptized and you want to convert you can (and must) receive Chrismation although in extreme cases the supplicant is permitted new baptism. And don't make the mistake i made if you decide to get baptized into Orthodoxy, of fussing over the particularities of your baptism. I *expected* to get a full year-long catechism and be triple immersed in one of those late iron age hexagonal marble tubs King Clovis-style, the whole Imperial Byzantine nine yards. But i'm not living in Imperial Byzantium so i got a simple and modest baptism of triple-affusion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (amen).
And most importantly, be patient with yourself but be willing to make positive changes. Remember, God has already created you, that is, the real you God has created you as is somewhere beneath the muck and the filth. You are not your bad habits, and you are not even necessarily your good secular habits. We aren't supposed to become "good", we are supposed to become humble and empty ourselves and to join into God through theosis.
I feel it too.
The war between the jew and humanity will resume at any moment with missile strikes between israel and Iran.
If Iran tagets lsraeI's civilian water infrastructure and every lsraeIi civilian power station, it's likely Iran plans to Final Solution lsraei.
lsraeI may Sampson-Option nuke dozens of nations if it loses.
ZOGs may try to spark WW3 if lsraeI loses, but I don't know if they can without a string of obvious false-flags.
Everything is about to change.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, please have mercy on us sinners.
Most Holy Theotokos, save us.
Holy Great Martyr George*, pray to God for us sinners.
Lord have mercy Lord have mercy Lord have mercy.

God bless, brother.
