Plan Your Kitchen Like a Pro

I recommend working with a kitchen Read More

Mrs. Beadsley’s Jewel Box: Becoming A Collector

By DEBRA LOWENSTEIN, Owner
Mrs. Beadsley Vintage Jewelry

This month. let’s talk about collecting. First, do you collect, or would you like to start a collection but aren’t sure just what to collect?

This is fine, of course, especially if you are acquiring jewelry to go with a certain dress or outfit, or if you are staying on the inexpensive side of vintage jewelry. If you are buying more expensive pieces, Read More

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos

There are too many people in this world today who have been so hurt, so violated, or so unjustly treated that there doesn’t seem to be any justice possible for them. And if you tell these victims that they should forgive their assailant in order to begin healing they might misinterpret what you are saying.

For the victim this may seem to imply that the crimes committed against them were not as bad as they made them out to be, that perhaps they weren’t as innocent as they claimed; or that the damage was insignificant; or that the offender does not deserve to be hated for Read More
