Fr. Glenn: Growing Up
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Ah, Thanksgiving is just around the corner—a time of family, feasting and a bit of innocent fun with all we are close to. As we take a little break from the daily grind during the holiday, it is good to—like Jesus did in the Gospel—separate ourselves from the crowd if for even just a little while to reflect on all the good in our lives. Yes, we all have our own problems and worries, of course, but if we continually wallow in the mire of our difficulties, we just slowly keep sinking. Our task is to find the positives to help us rise above, whether that be in friends, family or even the kindness Read More

Fr. Glenn: As Gold In Fire
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Now that we’re in the latter part of November, our minds will soon be drifting to thoughts of Thanksgiving holidays and, for we Catholics and other Christians, we know that Advent and Christmas are just around the corner. Before the Church liturgical year begins anew at Advent, which usually coincides with the first weekend of December, we first end the year with its grand finale: a celebration in anticipation of the second coming of Jesus.
We Christians believe that, when Jesus does come again, or when we go to God at our deaths, judgment awaits. “Judgment” has a negative connotation Read More

By ALLEN MCQUISTON

Have you ever wondered why black ice forms, how traction control works or what causes hydroplaning? Let’s take a look at the science behind some common winter driving conditions in order to better understand what leads to dangerous driving situations and help us all prepare to drive more safely this winter.
What is black ice?
Black ice is not actually black in color – it’s clear enough that you can see the road beneath it, making it appear “black.” Black ice can also be difficult to distinguish from a wet roadway and may appear Read More

Posts From The Road: Million Dollar Highway
Carved Roadway: The path of the Million Dollar Highway was carved out of the side of mountains in several locations. The original ‘road’ was little more than a wagon trail but it was built by blasting the side of the mountains to form the road bed. The roadway features high towering peaks on one side of the road and deep gorges on the other side of the road. The highway is much wider today but it still lacks shoulders and guard rails, which frightens some travelers. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

Fr. Glenn: Vets And Elects
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Kind of a banner week for the nation’s military this week, and over the last month or so. The Navy birthday was October 13, and the Marine Corps birthday is November 10. And, of course, Veterans Day is November 11—not because of these birthdays, but because, as Winston Churchill noted, it was on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month that the armistice was signed effectively ending World War I—a war with a toll of 15-22 million deaths and 23 million wounded. So tragically, the war which would take an even great many more lives would begin only about twenty years Read More
