135. Our First Dormition Fast & Responding to Internet Orthodox Criticisms

This is our first year participating in the Dormition fast, and it's so amazing the way you learn and grow in the faith just by TRYING to live liturgically -- even if you do it imperfectly. I also realized some of the internet crazies come out during the time of fasts, so I'll be responding to some of the criticisms I got online during this time. Lord have mercy on us!
