Just One Thing To Do This Week: Watch Your Carbs — I Mean, Crabs
By MARY BETH MAASSEN
Los Alamos
This is a story I wrote a several years ago when we had a home on the beach in Kino Bay, Mexico. Tis crab season, so I thought I would share it with you…
Lately I have noticed there are crabs all over the beach. So I decided it’s a good time to make crab cakes. I bet you think you know where this story is going; but you’re wrong. I did not go running down the beach with a net trying to catch crabs. Crabs have pincers, pincers that can sever a finger (I saw that on Animal Planet). I jump in my mini-van and drive down to the pier.
When I pull up to the pier a dozen fishermen run up to me with bags Read More

This memorable day started out like any other with me walking my dog behind a local church. We walk in that secluded area because my dog weighs just 5 lbs. and I worry we might encounter a large dog roaming Read More

By Rev.

And José is swirling around the eastern Caribbean, building up steam for yet another possible assault. All affected by such storms are in our prayers, and we urge all to charity to help victims rebuild.
We wonder why disasters occur—natural, manmade, and even personal accidents and illness. These are the common lot of all mankind. The perennial Read More

Just One Thing To Do This Week: Marvel At The Wonder In All Things
By MARY BETH MAASSEN
Los Alamos
“Well,” I whisper quietly into Helen’s ear. “What do you think? Is that a man or a woman?”
The tears that blurred my vision a few moments earlier are drying. The palpitations of my heart thumping hard in my chest are easing as well. I sigh and take a deep breath, exhaling slowly. Then another. She does the same.
Together, we stare, bewildered. Together, we consider the long reddish hair that disappears beneath the pink shawl, the slim forlorn white face, and the thin, pale hands. The figure is leaning away from their supposed husband.
“I don’t know,” she replies. “It really Read More
