Pastor Granillo: Commitment Part 2
By Pastor Raul Granillo
The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible. –George Burns
As a pastor, I understand the importance of the economy of words; I think that most pastors do. We realize that we only have a limited amount of time to convey an infinitely important biblical message. (No pressure!) For most people, the adage is correct and the mind can only absorb what the seat can endure. This, of course, presents a challenge for the preacher—how to pack the most bang into a message Read More

An Open Book: The Statue of Liberty
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Los Alamos
Although I grew up just outside of New York City, it was only when I returned many years later with my wife and children that we made a special pilgrimage to visit the Statue of Liberty. An immigrant myself, my port of entry was JFK Airport, not Ellis Island, but nevertheless, my call upon that symbol of welcome to America was important to me. So the recent proposed changes to national immigration policy, and a certain TV conversation about the Statue of Liberty and what it might or might not symbolize, made me reminisce about that visit. It brought to mind as well how symbols Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Good And Faithful Servant
By Rev. Glenn JonesAnother insult, another “apology”. Have you noticed how often nowadays we see an insult or criticism thrown wildly about by well-known persons, soon followed by an “apology” when they get roundly hammered by social media, commentators, sponsors, etc.? One would like to believe that they had an epiphany of remorse at their poor behavior, but who cannot wonder whether it’s just crocodile tears and an effort to stem the bleeding … especially when advertisers and sponsors (and therefore $$$) are on the line?
The best apology,

Just One Thing To Do This Week: Take Your Time
By MARY BETH MAASSEN
Los Alamos
Last September I embarked on a rigorous 30-day plan to get healthy and simplify my life. A best-selling book explained the step-by-step process in great detail. It was simple, all I had to do was follow each step as described and in less than a month my chaotic, demanding life would be chiseled down to a joy-filled, meaningful existence, and I would be living my full potential.
Awesome.
It has been nearly year and I can report I have progressed to day nine of the thirty-day plan. Except for the days when I slide back to day five. One day I skipped days 10-15 and enjoyed day Read More
