Inspirational People: Choosing To Be Kind
By CAROL A. CLARKIt seems the world is brimming with mean-spirited people vociferously spewing venom across social media – leaving hurt and anger in their wake. But there is a counter-balance to that senseless endeavor. I have seen it unfold right here in Los Alamos … incredibly inspiring people walking magnanimously among us.
Working as a newspaper reporter in this community for 15 years, I have met many of these thoughtful people and witnessed many kind and noble acts.

Fr. Glenn: The Best Policy
By Rev. Glenn JonesWhen I was in the Marines, one trait that was pounded into our “brain housing groups” was the virtue of integrity.

Even in training situations, if someone tries to cover a fault or failure by lying, it could cascade quickly into losing Marines. The insistence upon integrity was so adamant that I recall vividly one officer Read More

Pastor Granillo: Talented Servers
By Pastor Raul GranilloAll who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the LORD has commanded. (Exodus 35:10 NIV)
I received a gift this week from a local artisan. I was looking for a functional and elegant communion goblet; something nice that also said “New Mexico” with a hint of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The cottonwood goblet that he made was absolutely perfect. Upon seeing it, it became quite obvious to me that this person had a gift that many of us do not have. His love of wood and artistic hand are truly gifts and talents given by God. What really stood

Just One Thing To Do This Week: Appreciate Your Mother
By MARY BETH MAASSEN
Los Alamos
I loved the solar eclipse! We drove north to Idaho to experience the once-in-lifetime event in totality.
We stayed in a palatial home on the edge of a creek at the base of Mount Baldy in Sun Valley. Wholly enthralled with the surrounding beauty we dubbed the experience “Hoity-Toy-tality” and .the party commenced.
There were nine of us, and the morning of the celestial event we lined our chairs up along the balcony to wait for the eclipse. We had concocted a special eclipse cocktail–that was basically a margarita with a little orange juice (to make it healthier, Read More
