Fr. Glenn: My Guardian Dear
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
The subject of angels often captivates people. There’s actually quite a number of references to angels in the Bible—315 by my BibleGateway concordance count, the number probably depending on the translation. But from cover to cover our angel guides are there—from Genesis to Revelation—just as they are from “cover to cover” of our lives.
Now, every October 2nd is a day we Catholics celebrate our guardian angels—spiritual protectors and guides we believe is given by God to each of us per Jesus words: “…do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you that in heaven their Read More
An Open Book: On Co-ops Or Why Drinking Beer Has Nothing To Do With The Beer Co-op
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Los Alamos
I first wrote this essay in 2014, when the Bathtub Row Brewing Cooperative was still in the fundraising stage, right after a fundraiser at the old Canyon Bar and Grill and current location of the “Tub”.
Most readers may not remember that the impetus for this effort was, among others, Steve Watt, the first store manager of the Los Alamos Cooperative Market. By some divine coincidence, I am member number 18 of the Food Coop, and since this is a lucky number in Jewish numerology, I told Steve that I would join as a life member under the condition that I became member 18 for Read More

Sheep: A bonus scene while driving through the West Elk Mountains in Colorado was to see a herd of sheep grazing in a meadow at the edge of the forest. We enjoyed watching as two dogs kept the herd gathered and moving as they grazed from the meadow into the pines and fir trees of the forest. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

Fr. Glenn: You Don’t Waste Good
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Anyone a fan of the original NCIS has heard Special Agent Gibbs’ rule: “You don’t waste good.”
That simple phrase can be interpreted in several ways. In the immediate “Gibbsian” sense: If you’re good at something, don’t waste your gift. We teach kids this in guiding them toward courses of study, careers and vocations. For instance, If you’re good at math, look at something that requires math—science, accounting, etc. If you’re a good writer, maybe composition work of some sort is for you. If you find yourself gravitating toward the spiritual, maybe some sort of employ by your Read More
Tales Of Our Times: Imagine Being Rid Of The Party Known For Wrongdoing
Tales Of Our Times

Big political campaigns highlight the good that would come if we got rid of the harmful party, i.e., the other party. Each party relishes the thought of negotiating only with party mates. But we forget human nature. A longer look to the past finds the quirks that come with party structures.
These quirks can be related to what we see today. Today one party is called “conservative” and the other one is called “liberal”. We hear that “conservatives” are racist and favor the rich. Or perhaps, “liberals” prefer “justice” for Read More
Whipple: Tips For Preventing Yardwork & Landscaping Injury
By Dr. Laura Whipple DC
Los Alamos
Weekend yard maintenance and landscaping projects can easily cause injuries to the neck, arms and lower back.
I see this often in my practice during the spring, summer and fall when the seasons are shifting.
The main positions that create issues for people are: forward bending, lifting, carrying and over-reaching.
Compounding these issues are dehydration and sun exposure, which can cause muscle spasms and cramping later in the evening, during the night or the next morning.
Tips For Preventing Yardwork And Landscaping Injury:
- Use long handled tools, step

“Let my journey be
From the unreal to the real

Peace, Peace, Peace!”
This prayer from the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad acknowledges our journey in yoga to the highest truth.
This week’s Yama, Satya, has to do with truthfulness or honesty. Satya requires witnessing, awareness and balance. Truthfulness does not have only to do with being truthful Read More
