I need comments.

I've never been so needy in the comment department before. I haven't been commenting enough on other's blogs, I know. It is definately a reciprocal thing here in LJ world. Which makes sense...I'm just feeling comment needy today.

So...in order to generate a discussion as I seem to be desperately in need of one, ask me a question. Be anonymous if need be. I'll do my best to answer it.

Here's a question: where should we put the icons? I sort of wanted to put them in the kitchen near the dining table, but I'm worried that's disrespectful. Should the kids ahve an icon in their rooms? What should we be doing with them? We're moving, so I can set it all up properly - but how?

Pick an east facing wall or corner, in a central location not in an out of the way corner. I think near the dining table is fine as long as they aren't going to get splashed with food or something and be knocked into constantly. Nothing disrespectful about that location.

My kids all have icons in their rooms. Of their patron saints and any others they've specifically been given. Guardian angels and such. They also each have a crucifix type icon hanging over their beds. We have at least that in every room of the house. We have an icon prayer corner/wall but we also have icons in pretty much every room of the house. Do you have the hospitality icon? The one of the Three Visitors to Abraham? I've always loved that icon. It is a ritual for me to hang that one over the front door everytime we move. We haven't really moved until that icon is over door.

Goodness, that is a lot more than you asked for there. Sorry.
