Orthodox on Tumblr?

I have to admit, I’m a little impressed at the Orthodox presence on Tumblr.  Over the last couple of days, since I made my first “Orthodox” tag in an article, I’ve had people message me from America, Greece and Romania.  

As a young, Serbian Orthodox priest here in Lorain, Ohio, I just wondered to the greater Orthodox Tumblr community out there - any questions?  Not just on theological issues, but also on practical ones.  IE, what’s the most challenging situation I’ve faced as a priest? What was seminary like? What’s my favorite Lenten dish?  How do you develop (or find) a user-friendly database to track your collection of comic books?

Okay, maybe that last one isn’t faith-related… but that’s the point.  I’d love to entertain any genuine, curious questions about anything.  I’m an Orthodox Christian priest who is a movie lover, avid reader, comic book fan, (former) bass guitar player, computer whiz, thirty-year old, father of 3 kids, tech junkie, programmer, web developer, designer… and more.

I got onto Tumblr to help communicate my ongoing work for InspireBulletins, but have since decided to broaden my scope a bit. So thanks to all those who sent me a greeting and a question - please send more!  :-) 

(PS - the included photo is me serving at Decani Monastery in Kosovo last July!  One of the most amazing experiences of my life, spiritual or otherwise.)
