Fr. Glenn Jones:
Driving around New Mexico, there sure seems to be a lot of crumpled guardrails these days. I don’t remember as many prior to cellphones and texting; maybe an unintended (and undesired) consequence of constant communication.

But it seems that there’s a lot of metaphorical “guard rails” getting blasted right through these days as well. So many extremes, whether in politics, diet fads, exercise, social Read More
