The name Rhodora comes from the idea that people daily try to stamp God's name on things that are a mystery. We assume, and we misdirect. The Rhodora is no different. We cannot explain God. We can try, and we can fail. But ultimately God is God, and his explanation with the use of our minds is impossible.
"Rhodora" is a reminder of the times we have failed to explain God. Rhodora is a reminder to not try to put God in a box and tell everyone he is in there.
God is God. He is love. He is beauty. He is hope found in Jesus.
