By SUZETTE FOXAs someone who looks at a great deal of photos of beautifully designed homes every day, I know how the pangs of design cravings have the potential to overwhelm.
Despite the fact that we may be wishing for something different at home, that doesn’t mean we can’t also learn to love our homes just as they are today. Hardly anyone escapes home design envy.
Over time I have developed an arsenal of strategies to help cope with any feelings of my home being “less than” how I want it to look, especially Read More

Pastor Granillo: The Bride Of Christ
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOThe Bride of Christ.
The prophet Hosea had a unique situation; God commanded him to marry a woman who would be unfaithful to him. Hosea’s wife, Gomer, constantly left him in order to prostitute herself out to others; sometimes bearing their children. She showed no remorse for her actions, but Hosea persisted in trying to win her back.
In spite of humiliating circumstances, Hosea was faithful to his wife and tried to get her to be faithful to him as well. At one point, Hosea actually bought back his wife from another man that she has left him for.
Today, as probably happened

Pastor Granillo: Religiosity
Pastor Raul GranilloGod tells the prophet, Isaiah, that the Hebrew people “seem” to be eager to know God’s ways. He tells Isaiah that they act like a nation that is doing what is right. They ask God to make just decisions for them, and they “seem” to “be eager for God to come close to them” (Isaiah 58:1-2).
The problem is that they only “seem” to be that way. In every religious aspect they appear to be the people of God.
“’Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you have not seen it? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you have not noticed?’”
“Yet on the day of Read More

Pastor Granillo: Preemptive Peace
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOAs I sat down to write this, my house shook from the shockwave of a nearby explosion. Thursdays are when the National Lab performs explosive test here in Los Alamos; or so I have been told. (I don’t have clearance, so have to take everyone at their word.) Thursdays are often a surreal reminder of our distrust for others and the extremes that we will go to in order to protect our way of life. As a husband and a father, it scares the hell out me.
According their website, in 2015 there were 10,827 people employed working at Los Alamos National Labs. The vast majority of those Read More
