Denish: We All Depend On The Post Office

Not long ago, as I left the post office, I found myself humming a 1935 tune: “I’m gonna sit right down and write myself a letter.” I was there to purchase a roll of “forever” stamps, see what’s new with the specialty stamps, and mail a package.
I am an unapologetic fan of what I call “snail mail,” mail delivered by the post office. And I still love to write letters. Six days a week, I anticipate seeing what has come through my mail slot. Sometimes it’s catalogs and junk mail. The first of the month is utility, credit card and other bills. And monthly Read More
Posts From The Road: Grand Canyon Drive Through
Grand View: Our first view of the Grand Canyon during our visit Aug. 19 was from Yavapai Point. Any view of the Grand Canyon is magnificent when one first walks up to the rim and gazes across this amazing canyon. A Geology Museum is also located at Yavapai Point, which offers spectacular panoramic views of the canyon and the geological features within the Grand Canyon. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

Fr. Glenn: Royal Virtue
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Anyone of merit wants their children to grow up to be good and virtuous persons—intelligent without arrogance, strong but gracious and kind, beautiful without vanity, courageous to do what’s right, charitable to those in need, thoughtful, etc. Most parents, remembering their own faults and failures, weaknesses and regrets, long for their children to be improved (sometimes much improved) versions of themselves or of family members/mentors whom they themselves admire.
This is why many Christians celebrate various saints throughout the year: to provide examples not Read More

White Rock Presbyterian Church
In a recent column [Aug. 13, 2023], my colleague, friend, and sister in faith, Mother Lynn Finnegan, encouraged us to “examine our faith ‘comfort zones’” and, for those not currently part of a church, to consider giving it a try! And she offered a prayer that whatever church you enter might be “a source of healing and hope.”
I echo all of that! Church can absolutely be a source of healing and hope–healing Read More

Pottery. Courtesy/Fr. Theophan

Over the past few weeks, I have been showing some people how to throw pottery, to form it on the pottery wheel. It is an ancient process, made much easier by electric motors and premixed, homogenized clay.
The hardest thing for beginners to get is centering the clay, getting the clay perfectly balanced in the middle of the spinning wheel. It takes experience and feel for pressing in on the clay while also pressing down, so that the clay has no other place to go than into the center of the wheel head. Read More

I finally hooked a big one! A six-foot, five-inch, 220 pounder! No, it wasn’t a fish, unfortunately, but rather my fly fishing guide, Aiden. Embarrassing to say the least, as my fly landed right in his chin. Thankfully, after some very dexterous “surgery” he was able to remove it. And he graciously told me it wasn’t the first time.
I had never tried fly fishing prior to this attempt but had always admired those I had seen participating in the sport. It looked like a beautifully choreographed Read More
McQuiston: Basic Home Maintenance Tips To Help Protect Against Water Damage
By ALLEN MCQUISTON
Jemez Insurance Agency
If you’re a homeowner, you may be surprised to learn that the bulk of water damage to a home isn’t due to natural disasters or flooding.
It’s actually due to unchecked plumbing issues that lurk on the property — things like slow leaks, corroded pipes, and degraded valves and supply lines. Even your water make-up can be a culprit.
Fortunately, many of these issues are preventable with some basic, proactive home maintenance.
Do you want to reduce the chances of water damage in your house?
