Fr. Glenn: Responding To Grace
Fr. Glenn Jones:
One of the things we find frustrating is traffic—it always seems worse when you’re running late, or the traffics lights conspiring against you, or someone is piddling along in the fast lane. “Darn it!” … or words to that effect. But then … we go up a little farther and there’s an accident that occurred just a few moments before. And we find ourselves grateful for a little delay.
Or have you ever been the right person at just the right time, or had someone help you at just the right moment. Priests and ministers and social workers often have people say to them years later: “That which you Read More

Over the past three months, I’ve participated in an intense class on racism in our country. It’s been demanding in terms of time, intellectual capacity, and perhaps most of all, heart capacity.
It’s painful to see more fully the historic and ongoing oppression that exists in our country, based solely on race. It’s uncomfortable to see the ingrained-ness of racism in our country. It’s overwhelming to see the pervasiveness Read More

By TOM GARRISON
Special to the Los Alamos Daily Post
St. George, Utah
The end of each year is a good time to compose a “Thankful List” for the preceding year. My wife, Deb, and I enjoy our life in red rock southern Utah and have many things for which we are thankful. I hope sharing them brings a smile and acknowledgement that even the seldom thought of can be a source of thankfulness.
Below is my 2022 list:

Gruninger: Restorative Yoga-Mountain Brook Calming Pose
By JACCI GRUNINGER, MS, C-IAYT
Los Alamos
Continuing with our self-support practices this month, try this calming restorative pose when you want to feel supported.
This pose also helps to reverse our traditional “slumpasana” (slumped pose) that comes from sitting and holding tension in our necks, upper back and shoulders.
Benefits of this pose:
- Supports the back of the neck to allow the throat to soften;
- Opens the upper back to break down the walls created around the heart; and
Can help reduce fatigue.
While you are doing this pose, consider yourself like a mountain brook and the props are smooth Read More
