angels don't have female names. as hh abba shenouda says they are without gender. they are not men, because that would imply they are human. in the Bible and the writings of the church fathers, the angels have male names, and in Christian icons of a…

May God give you patience and keep you close to Him. there is more snow in uk than we've had in ages. but it's above zero now in the south, so hopefully enough of it will melt to keep the roads moving. several buses and cars were stranded near my ho…

erm... cheese is not sayami. stuff made with cheese is also not sayami. ;) by the way, tinned sardines and tahini (sesame seeds/oil), which is an ingredient of humous, contain plenty of calcium.
