How The Hen House Turns: Knowing Self
How the Hen House Turns—Knowing SelfRecently I talked about Theory of Mind—how some animals obviously recognize that others are aware. There’s good evidence that animals are aware of what other critters are thinking or planning.
Whenever my duck Ms. Khaki came close to me with a soft “quack quack,” she knew I would get the trowel and dig up damp spots in the Hen House mud to provide her with the juicy worms she loved. Once, she showed me where I had left the trowel.
There is a good case to be made for some animals who are also self-aware. Great apes, Read More

I love to write about interior design, but often forget to cover one important group – kids! Most parents will agree that providing their children with a wonderful living space in which they can thrive, learn and play is of paramount importance.
For a child, a bedroom is more than just a place to sleep. It is a place to do schoolwork, listen to music, play games, sprawl on the floor, rough-house, read, build models, daydream, visit with friends and keep innumerable possessions. You’ll need to plan carefully to create a room that serves Read More

Kerr: Why Don’t People Go To Church Anymore?

Los Alamos
A Good Question: Why Don’t People Go To Church Anymore?
One answer: I don’t need to go to church and I need that time to get ready for the coming week. I am a very busy person and I need that time to relax and take care of projects around the house.
Another answer: Church people are hypocritical and don’t live up to their standards. I can teach my own children about morals and right and wrong. As I find time.
And another answer: What’s the sense if GOD is all knowing, all seeing and all powerful why does he allow mayhem, sickness, poverty and war? What good is a church?

Todd Urbatsch, Los Alamos Historical Pastor Granillo: Lamentations
By Pastor Raul GranilloLamentations.
“I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me” (Lamentations 3:19-20 NIV).
I think that most of us have had those days when our “soul is downcast” within us. Those days when we feel like everything is just going wrong. Those days when everything we say comes out wrong and we seem to cause more division than anything. Those days when it doesn’t just rain or pour, but we really feel like the weight of the entire universe is crushing us and taking away our very ability to breath. Read More

Green is everywhere these days–in the news, politics, fashion, and even technology.
With a million messages and ideas coming at us from all sides, it can be easy to get caught up in the ordinary stuff–switching to organic foods, turning down the thermostat, recycling — without thinking about the big picture of how your actions stack up.
Worse, you could even be suffering from a little green “fatigue” — that is, tuning out the green messages due to its message overload.
While it’s easy to get overwhelmed, the truth is that everything single thing Read More
