http://rivannariverdays.blogspot.com/2009/06/of-deer-and-scare-crows.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Of Deer And Scare Crows . I knew the honeymoon had to end. The nasty scents of whatever they put in those deer repellent products always gives way and even on reapplication don't mean much to those who seek to undermine all of the hard, tireless work I've done throughout the spring! No, they can't be hungry! Look at all the stuff growing in the meadow! I leave it there just for them! The jury is still out as to whether it works here, for me, with these particular deer! YES, THE RE...

rivanna river days: March 2009
http://rivannariverdays.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 13, 2009. It's way to early for all of this. I'm just not ready. Between the time change and heat last weekend, my body was freaking out! I think strange weather is and will be happening all over the globe. I'm grateful that we haven't had any severe weather so far. Remember the family I told you about a while back whose house slid down the side of a mountain? The local newspaper dubbed him the "miracle cat.". Monday, March 09, 2009. Throw in some purple crocuses and I'm in spring heaven...

rivanna river days: February 2009

Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Lilies and my veggies. I will miss the bird families bringing their young to the feeder just outside my kitchen window in June and July, but hopefully I'll be able to harvest more food from the garden for my table. I'm really getting excited about the coming spring and summer and fresh vine ripened tomatoes, juicy. Chard and romaine lettuce at one of our health food stores . green house grown but still local! What about some good old nutrition for the planet and getting away...

rivanna river days: May 2009
http://rivannariverdays.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. I'm trying to figure out if I will keep this blog going. I haven't been posting much and I find I really just want to be outside in the garden at this time of year. Still there are many things I'd like to write about and a blog seems to be a great way to keep the words flowing . if I'd only do it. I'll let you know what I decide. Friday, May 08, 2009. Still In The Garden . Sorry I didn't get pictures but it is etched in my mind and imagination for good! While there I was surprised...

Communion of Glitches: June 2008
http://communionofglitches.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 20, 2008. Toiling, spinning, and my 401k. My mom and I had a discussion last night about a book she's reading, The Importance of Being Foolish. The author, Brennan Manning, discusses the need for Christians to turn away from the secular world and the things that distract us from Christ. But instead of the small-scale traditional punching bags like secuar music and television, Manning tells us we need to turn from the diversions of security, power, being liked.

Communion of Glitches: The hundreth sheep
http://communionofglitches.blogspot.com/2007/12/hundreth-sheep.html
Tuesday, December 4, 2007. Not to mention that there's no room left for some really cool movies. Sometimes Christians approach personal holiness by isolating themselves from things that they perceive as ungodly. And there's a point where that makes sense. I don't go into topless bars because I know my reaction won't be Christlike. I don't always get that balance right. But Christ lived in his culture, and redeemed his culture. He didn't stand apart from it. Thanks for the good thoughts.

Communion of Glitches
http://communionofglitches.blogspot.com/2007/11/im-currently-among-other-things-reading.html
Friday, November 30, 2007. I'm currently (among other things) reading Stars of David. By Abigail Pogrebin. Even if you're not into Judaica, it's an interesting look at the vast spectrum of religious observance in America. One passage, from the piece about Leon Wieseltier, struck me:. And doesn't it strike anyone that the more accepting a country is of a multitude of religious expression, the better it is for everyone? How does religious tolerance hurt Christianity?

Communion of Glitches: May 2008
http://communionofglitches.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 25, 2008. I read this post. Last fall and have been thinking about my personal creed ever since. The idea of a personal creed rather than a community creed bumps up against and tussles with my Catholic schooling, my belief of church as community, and my mixed emotions about "cafeteria Christianity". Thus, it's been an incredibly empowering thought, and also an incredibly uncomfortable one. If a creed is completely personal, what's the point of being involved with a community at all?

Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Whereon he thought of himself in balance. I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see." John Burroughs. Is it just fear that keeps me from, say, donating all I have to the poor rather than setting up a retirement account? Is what I call "being practical" really a lack of faith in God to provide for my needs? Then there's Christ's call to be generous and givin...

Communion of Glitches: October 2007

Monday, October 29, 2007. How will U know the truth? Is the Bible all there is? Tons of foreign gods and goddesses) doesn't make them less truthful; it just means we are dealing with a different sort of truth. To tell the truth, I'm not entirely sure how a person justifies these discrepancies if they claim the Bible is 100% true in all senses of the word. Do you just ignore the parts that disagree? Insist that sources disputing the Bible's scientific and historical truth are wrong? The most memorable "Je...
