Lately I feel like I am running out of time. I have always felt there just wasn’t enough time on a day-to-day basis, but now I feel like I am running out of time in the BIG picture. As I look at the list of things I want to accomplish in my life and I compare it to the number of years I may (or may not) have left, I realize that I kinda gotta get it together pretty quickly. This has been weighing on me quite heavily. I don’t have that sense of impending doom that I usually experience before my birthday, but it is close.
When one comes to a crossroad such as this you can ruminate on it and Read More

By Rev. Glenn JonesA very blessed and happy Easter to all as we Christians celebrate the (literal, not figurative) resurrection of Jesus from death 2000 years ago. This is one of the absolutely central tenets of the Christian faith. For those unfamiliar with Christianity, know that we believe that Jesus died by crucifixion to take upon us the punishment each person rightly deserves in justice for personal wrongs against God and other people. He resurrected as the “first-born from the dead” in order to, at some undetermined time in the future, Read More
Pastor Granillo: All Good Things…

There is a great deal of mystery that surrounds Mary Magdalene. Although the Bible says nothing of the sort, many believe her to have been a prostitute or an otherwise scandalous woman. What we do know from the scriptures is that Jesus freed Mary Magdalene from demons (Luke 8:2; Mark 16:9). After this we know that Mary Magdalene became a follower of Jesus who witnessed His crucifixion (John 19:25). In every gospel account, she is among the first to find the tomb empty and to testify Read More

How the Hen House Turns—Bird MindsBy Cary Neeper
While watching our turkey, Little Bear, march across the backyard, it wasn’t difficult to believe that birds descended from dinosaurs. Little Bear (Turkey2) looked like a miniature T-Rex with her long neck stretching forward from a round body balanced over two long legs.
When I stretched out a hand filled with cracked corn, and she would rush over to snatch up the treat. Her gustatory preferences always surprised me. Why did she find dried corn kernels so delicious? They tasted like..well…nothing

Easter is my favorite holiday for several reasons: When the kids are little, Easter lasts all day. As long as you have the energy to hide the eggs, the kiddos will have energy to find them. It is more about the engagement than the gifts.
Christmas is busy, demanding, overwhelming, expensive, and then in blur of gift wrap it is over by 10 a.m., and the kids are once again waiting to be entertained … at least that was my experience any way.
Cooking for Easter is way easier than cooking for any other holiday. The ham is pretty much heat and eat, ready to go, your guests bring a few Read More
Izraelevitz: Passover, Glazed Donuts, And Graduate School
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZPassover, glazed donuts, and graduate school do not mix well. This is a fact that I encountered, for five consecutive years, when I was a graduate student working on my doctoral degree.
