Home Country

Four years ago now. Yep, four years ago we lost Max Evans. I sure did, anyway. That old cowboy, artist, writer, bar brawler and two-fisted philosopher meant a lot to a lot of people and not just his wife, Pat, and their twin daughters.

I met Max one day about 40 years ago. I was working for the Albuquerque Journal as a columnist at the time, and another columnist there, Jim Belshaw, came up to me in the newsroom one morning and said, “We’re having lunch with Max Evans today at noon.

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Everyone on the planet seeks to find fulfillment. One might say that every living creature seeks fulfillment in its own way—growth, procreation, and life itself. Thus the plant reaches toward sunlight, the grazer to better pastures, the carnivore to where prey is plentiful. But, of course, with we humans, just life and existence and physical contentment is not enough for most; we desire more. We desire the satisfaction—the fulfillment-of having made a difference in our lives, whether that be with descendants, or discovery, or working to make others’ lives and the world Read More

Delight. Sheer delight. That is the best description of the look on my three-year-old granddaughter’s face as she anticipated the balloon I was about to toss her. It was a simple game and a simple balloon. Standing just a few feet apart, we lobbed the purple balloon back and forth in an activity that Read More
