As we say goodbye to former Gov. Bill Richardson, there will be a lot written. Since his death last week almost everyone I see has a Richardson story to tell.
And there have been some wonderful obituaries written about his service in Congress and New Mexico. Some underscore the great work he did as U.N. ambassador, U.S. Energy Secretary, and most recently as a negotiator for Americans detained abroad.
There is no doubt he touched many lives.
One of the missing ingredients in most obituaries is a look at the work he did to support women who Read More

Fr. Glenn: To Sow Bountifully
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
9/11.
Even now, after 22 years, the memory of it sparks horror…sorrow…anger…regret. Few now younger than 30 will remember watching so much of it “live and in color”, and know the shock that was felt not only in our nation, but around the world. Scanning the skies. The grounded planes. “Let’s roll”.
“What regret?! We were attacked!!” Yes, but why? The regret for human disunity which led to that and similar tragedies. Greed, jealousy, prejudice, religious hatred, unbridled self-interest even when faced with those impoverished through no fault of their own. Hardness of heart. Read More

From lane departure warnings to automatic emergency braking, drivers today have more technology than ever to help avoid car accidents. But with more cars on the road, the number of traffic fatalities continues to rise, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

“May you know yourself to be a miraculous co-creator with God of the wonders and beauty of creation. And may your work, if only a tiny fraction of it, be a source of joy, pride, and dignity. For in that moment, you will discover what it means to share in the divine life of God.” –Brother James Koester

Houck: Home Maintenance Tips
By DAVID HOUCK

Most sellers know that they are going to sell long before putting their home on the market. Getting ready to sell a home is a process, start early – take care of deferred maintenance early and over time. This will take the “sting” out of the cost and allow you to prioritize maintenance issues.
A well maintained home will usually sell for more money and sell faster than a home with extensive deferred maintenance issues.
Maintenance, inspections, and disclosure all tie together. A well-maintained home will have less to disclose and less to address after Read More

As promised, we are taking a deeper dive into the famous empanadas. These little pockets of nutrition are wildly popular and a great way to eat on the run. Empanadas were first made in what is now known as Spain during medieval times while under Moorish invasion. Compact, versatile, portable, sweet or savory, served hot or cold, baked or fried, they made instant meals that could be served anywhere. They were a snap to make and were super cheap since smart and frugal cooks found it a great way to use up leftovers. Read More
