Pastor Raul Granillo: The Love Of Hate
By PASTOR RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs. Proverbs 10:12 (NIV).
I doubt that there are many people who argue with this Proverb. In general, we agree that hatred is bad and love is good. So why do we see so many acts of hatred, not just from terrorists or white supremacists, but from everyday people, including ourselves?
We see hatred while we drive, when we watch the news, when we go to a little league game; even in our churches and in our own homes. Why is it so difficult for us to escape hatred? Perhaps it’s because of how much we welcome it.

Just One Thing To Do This Week: Listen
By MARY BETH MAASSENThis Week: Listen
I hear my husband come through the front door.
“Hey ya!” I hear him shout cheerfully. “How ya’ been? Did you have a good day?” I can hear the smile in his voice.
I do not respond. This is because I know he is talking to our dogs. He is far more effusive when talking to our dogs than when talking to me. I have come to expect this, and accept this. I am guessing that when he enters the house, if I were to eagerly rush up to him while wiggling my butt with unbridled enthusiasm, he would probably speak to me with a little more exuberance. We all have our limits. Butt-wiggling Read More

Just One Thing To Do This Week: Exercise
By MARY BETH MAASSEN
Los Alamos
You know it was bound to happen. I have written about eating less sugar (a daily struggle), drinking more water (easier than eating less sugar), and getting more restful sleep (dream away), but now we have to talk about exercise. Of course, talking about exercise is the easy part.
Actually doing exercise is the hard part.
I have boxes of DVDs showcasing various belly-busting, butt-firming and thigh-slimming workouts. I found them again just this last weekend. I have not watched them in years, maybe decades, and some of the DVDs have never even been opened. Did I drop Read More
An Open Book: Ex Libris, Part I
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Los Alamos
Books are my touchstones. Opening a book I have already read takes me back in time; unread books sitting on my shelf beckon me to enter their world sometime soon. But this book world is not the story inside. A Kindle or a tablet may contain the same story as a tattered hardcover, but is it the physicality of the book that summons; touching the book again is what brings me back.
I have many stories about books that I would like to share with you. It might surprise you that a textbook or even a book I have never read might be important to me, but it is what it is. Let me begin, then, Read More
