Pastor Granillo: Understanding Women And Kings
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos
Understanding Women and Kings.
When I first got married, I knew the primary rule of marriage was that I was to be devoted to this one woman, alone, for the rest of my life. Of course, I was naïve about a lot of things.
I thought all this rule meant, was that other women were off limits. I dare say every husband learns quickly that there is more to it than that. For example, it would not end will if you told your wife that you preferred your mom’s cooking or her cleaning methods.
I learned a lot of serious stuff as well. My wife had her own journey through life before she met me. Read More

An Open Book: Dulce De Leche
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Los Alamos
One of my fellow labmates in graduate school ate a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich for lunch every day.
I thought this was extremely weird, even if my claim to a more diverse diet was based on felafel wraps, subs and frito pies.

It was not until I entered fatherhood and was informed Read More

It says a lot that they asked Samuel, the prophet, for a king.
Even after Samuel warned the Israelites that having a king would only serve to give them the same problems that the other nations of the world faced, they Read More
