A couple years ago, I blogged about Demotivators. You’re probably familiar with the series of inspirational posters that you may find in office settings. The ones that have a nice picture and say SUCCESS or CREATIVITY or whatever, followed by a semi-inspirational saying. The DEmotivators are a humorous and somewhat cynical parody of these posters. You can find all kinds of them at Despair.com.
Anyway, they’ve got a cool new (to me, anyway) application on their website that allows you to create your OWN “demotivators” posters. You can upload your own picture, enter your own text, and everything! Just go to http://diy.despair.com/motivator.php and walk through the steps. How cool is THAT?! You can create your own posters and save the images or even purchase actual posters, just like the real ones!
Enjoy!

You can see in the right sidebar, in the section called Orthodox Links, that I’ve provided some links to websites that can introduce you to what the Orthodox Church is all about. I found another good site today that has some excellent links to articles and essays that discuss not only Church History and Dogma, but the Orthodox views on all kinds of things, including prayer, the Bible, icons, symbolism, worship, sacraments, etc.
Here is a really good quote from the website (it’s from Christ the Savior Orthodox Church in Cincinnati, OH) that summarizes who the Orthodox Church is:
THE ORTHODOX CHURCH is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman. It isn’t non-denominational, it is pre-denominational. It has believed, taught, preserved, defended and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost nearly 2000 years ago in 33 A.D.
If you’re at all curious, I encourage you to visit the website and take a look at some of the articles they’ve made available. They’re VERY helpful and informative, and still easy to read. Find out more about the Church that has stayed faithful to the doctrines taught by Christ and His Apostles and clarified by the Seven Ecumenical Councils. (So many Americans are unfamiliar with the Orthodox Church; be the first on your block to know about it!)
