The demons are always wanting to interfere with whatever we are doing for our salvation. Alas, we - who are lukewarm - usually say to ourselves, ‘Wait, I have not yet done this, I have not yet tried that … I will repent later. After I have done all these things, I will repent, God; and I will walk the straight path — wandering neither to the right nor to the left.’ This is exactly what the spirits of evil want us to do. They want us to put off our salvation until tomorrow, or the day after, and so on and so forth, until the end of our life. But the Holy Fathers say, 'Go with the Lord, go today, follow Him!'
I am sorry I haven’t posted about my trip to Alaska. It was amazing, and I hope to get some things posted soon, but time has been very tight and stretched. I hope you like the following pictures, which show a little tiny bit of the things that I did. I hope to write more later.
