Misty Mountains

I took my girls to see the new Hobbit movie a few weeks ago. When this song came on, my 7 year old said, “Daddy, that sounds like our songs at the Orthodox Church!”
I have been hearing my 3 year old chanting “Allelujah” around the house lately too.
I love that we sing our prayers in Church, as well as speak them. I don’t know if my three girls get everything they hear during the Liturgy, or other services. Whenever I hear them singing the hymns of the Church though, I hear their love for the things of Christ.

This is a blog about my journey from Protestantism to the Eastern Orthodox Church, and reflections of have as an Orthodox Christian. Not very original, but I am hoping to sort out some of what I have learned and share my journey with others. I hope this will help explain some things for my friends and family. I also hope this may help someone who is not yet my friend, that I have not yet met.
Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog... Now He's Eastern Orthodox? 
I kept thinking as I was watching the Hobbit how many parallels there were to things in the Orthodox world view.
What things did you find that paralleled the Orthodox World View? I have to admit that I was a bit distracted by the fact that the movie was trying to combine The Hobbit with The Council Of Elrond from Fellowship of the Ring, as well as the Jacksonisms.
