TOTH: Connect with the World
Connect with the World
Connect your own life with those around you. What could be more meaningful than to spend time with family and friends instead of gluing your eyes and mind on a phone or iPad?
Connect with us with Praise and Worship Sunday evening. Laurie Triplett will be talking about how many people wonder how a loving God could require that Jesus’ blood be shed to make up for our sins. This teaching is geared toward pondering several different views of blood/sin/salvation and how we, no matter our theology, can “drink the cup” of a deeper relationship Read More

How the Hen House Turns: For Scooter—Dealing With Loss
How the Hen House Turns: Column by Carolyn A. (Cary) Neeper, Ph. D.
Dogs seem to vary widely in their ability to create understanding from new evidence. When Turkey died, Scooter didn’t get it, but DeeDee did.
So it was not surprising that Scooter did not understand where DeeDee had gone when she died. Even the familiar body, so inert, did not trigger her curiosity, much less grief. After that day, Scooter wandered here and there looking for DeeDee. Obviously, she missed her life-long companion. We felt it was important to keep to the same familiar routine, but she couldn’t Read More

LAJC News:
The Los Alamos Jewish Center will hold its annual community Passover Seder this year at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 15 at the Betty Ehart Senior. The event is open to anyone interested in attending.

Solo Traveler: Dangerous Walking

Solo Traveler: Dangerous WalkingOne afternoon I walked down the andador in San Cristóbal de las Casas. It is a street that has been closed off to traffic and repaved with nice flagstones for pedestrians. It’s always full of tourists, buskers and indigenous women selling crafts.
A tall European woman turned to watch a street performer but continued walking forward. If I hadn’t stepped aside she would have walked right into me!
When I lived in San Miguel de Allende for a short time, I saw a Read More
Healing Hands: Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy
Healing Hands: Myofascial Trigger Point TherapyA trigger point is an area of muscle fibers that are in continuous contraction located within a tight band of muscle. This hypoxic “knot” (Partland and Simmons 2013) can be felt as a lump that twitches when pressed and can also be very tender, sting, and have increased referred pain.
Referred pain can be pain that has the same intensity as a trigger point in the same muscle but away from the trigger point itself. You can possibly feel these knots in your own neck and you already know how painful they can be.
People I work with who have Read More

How the Hen House Turns: The Puzzle of Animal Consciousness
How the Hen House Turns:The movie “The Life of Pi” is thoughtful exploration of religion and meaning and the animal mind. As well as a masterful use of 3D to express nature’s power and human fragility and beauty without going over the top too often.
The effects did not steal too much story time, just a little, with lengthy storms. What impressed me most was the director’s restraint in leaving the large questions unanswered, and his letting the human be a human and the tiger be a tiger.
