Category: Riverside Reflections

When I first began blogging, I had a separate blog for my devotions, prayers, and serious intervention for sanctity of life called Riverside Reflections. You know – different writing for different readership. In the midst of homeschooling, it made more sense to include those posts here.

Thanks for stopping by, we love company!

Love spoken thirteen times

February 13, 2015February 20, 2015 Rabbit Trails

Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love. God’s love … Continue reading Love spoken thirteen times

Freeze Frame

January 8, 2015April 3, 2015 Rabbit Trails

The laughing splashing gurgle of Euni’s fountain is silenced, the cascading cadence frozen mid-chuckle. Yet, sparkling in the sun, the Source, is constant, Joy unceasing.      Continue reading Freeze Frame

The Christmas Card Carol…

December 10, 2014January 8, 2015 Rabbit Trails

No one really has much time to talk about Christmas Cards before Christmas.  Many are chanting the Christmas Card Carol (actually a lamentation) in which the first verse deals with the hassle of writing a personal note, the second verse … Continue reading The Christmas Card Carol…

Yielding To The Perfect Whole – Christmas dissatisfaction

December 10, 2014March 22, 2022 Rabbit Trails

I suppose that everyone has people in their lives who are perpetually down or dissatisfied with “The Holidays.” I think, if we’re not careful, any one of us could be this person. Humans can ritualize anything; and Christmas observations are … Continue reading Yielding To The Perfect Whole – Christmas dissatisfaction

Gifts From The Sea

October 20, 2014December 1, 2019 Rabbit Trails

The beach was slowly filling up with fishing poles, coolers and occupied beach chairs. The Atlantic was gorgeous, shimmering in the slant of the early morning autumn sun, the tide rolling in with a surge of foam and spray.  Feet bare, … Continue reading Gifts From The Sea

Where all the leaves are gold…

September 22, 2014January 3, 2019 Rabbit Trails

The sun sets due West today, and the temperature has dipped a little in convenient recognition of my post-summer hunger for long sleeves, colorful socks, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and hot spiced apple cider.  I’m going to buy a bright … Continue reading Where all the leaves are gold…

Two Thousand X One

“Through all this ordeal his root horror had been isolation, and there are no words to express the abyss between isolation and having one ally. It may be conceded to the mathematicians that four is twice two. But two is not twice one; two is two thousand times one. That is why, in spite of a hundred disadvantages, the world will always return to monogamy.”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

The Task

Truth is eternal,
knowledge is changeable.
It is disastrous to confuse them.

Madeleine L'Engle

Push back against the age as hard as it pushes against you. What people don't realize is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course, it is the cross.

Flannery O'Connor

How is it possible?

How is it that God permeates the universe, that everything that is - comes from his hand; that every thought and emotion we have - has significance only in Him yet we are neither shaken nor inflamed by the reality of His presence, but able to live as though He did not exist? How is this truly Satanic deceit possible? Romano Guardini

Looking for Something?

O nata lux de lumine, Jesu redemptor saeculi, dignare clemens supplicum Laudes preces que sumere. Qui carne quondam contegi dignatus es pro perditis. Nos membra confer effici, tui beati corporis.
