Pastor Granillo: Unreasonable Expectations
By Pastory RAUL GRANILLOUnreasonable Expectations.
As I was trying to use duct tape to pull the skin of my elbow back together, I remember thinking to myself, “Maybe using a five-gallon bucket as a stool and a screwdriver as a pry bar was not the best decision I’ve ever made.” I ended up with 14 staples in my arm simply because I misused a bucket and a screwdriver. I want to say that I learned my lesson, but my wife might disagree.
It is all too common for us to misuse or to put unfair expectations on the things in this world. For instance, using an expensive bat will not guarantee you home Read More
Pastor Granillo: Encouraging Intimacy
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO
Encouraging Intimacy.
“Solomon’s Song of Songs. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth– for your love is more delightful than wine” (Song of Songs 1:1-2 NIV).
The Song of Solomon is not a top choice for clergy to preach on. It may not be the most avoided book at the pulpit, but it is one that can make us feel uncomfortable. It is, after all, an amorous poem—to say the least.
There are two things that strike me when I read the Song of Solomon. The first is that it is dated. It was written around 3,000 years ago. A great deal has changed in the way we talk to each other from

Home Country: A Man Has A Perfect Right To Be A Little Strange
By SLIM RANDLES
We all know that someone will find Jenkins’s cabin. Someday. Oh, it’s up there in those hills somewhere. We all know that.
It’s become a friendly object of conjecture and speculation. No one living has seen it, as far as we know. Jenkins himself died quietly when he was on one of his infrequent trips to town for supplies. Funny guy, that Jenkins.
He worked in the city for years, mostly as a night watchman in a factory that made diapers. Didn’t really enjoy people much, and told us many times how nice it was to just be in the huge factory when it was quiet.
Then one day he decided to move to the Read More

Los Alamos
The great American love affair with the drive-in movie theater celebrates its 83rd anniversary. Although around 350 still exist across the United States, the drive-in survives on a smaller scale thanks to a growing number of people who have taken the concept back to its place of origin: the driveway and backyard.
Can it be done without spending a fortune? Not only is it possible, it is an amazing amount of fun as long as you follow some common sense rules.
Don’t be That Neighbor…
Depending on where you live, the concept of a backyard home theater Read More

Pastor RAUL GRANILLOThe Meaning of Life.
“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” Ecclesiastes 1:2 (NIV)
I have no doubt that everyone has had that moment when they have asked themselves, “Why do I bother?”
Sometimes it’s in a semi-humorous situation, like asking not to be transferred for the 12th time, while trying to get the right Internet tech on the phone, only to find yourself disconnected or listening to the automated message you started with. Other times it can be more serious, like
