Seeing God in a Japanese Garden

February 7, 2012March 31, 2014 Rabbit Trails

To study Japan is to realize that her people have no saving knowledge of Christ.   In this island nation, the people’s great respect for the awesome power and reverence for the stunning glory of God’s creation is sadly channeled into a sort of nature and … Continue reading Seeing God in a Japanese Garden

So we painted a dead fish…

December 1, 2011March 20, 2017 Rabbit Trails

Caught in the Floe…

November 12, 2011March 31, 2014 Rabbit Trails

Burr!  The temperature really dropped as our studies turned south to Antarctica!  A fascinating, yet utterly forbidding place, Antarctica is a frozen continent, exceedingly dry, where winds up to 200 miles per hour roar across icy peaks creating an ever-changing topography.  It was the last continent to be explored, in part because it … Continue reading Caught in the Floe…

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

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.
