You’ve probably heard the term “fight, flight, or freeze” in relation to how we respond to stress. When we are in a stressful situation, our bodies are more concerned about survival than anything else. Our autonomic nervous system (ANS) enters into a sympathetic state, meaning we are on high alert. We either fight back, flee the scene, or shut down/freeze until the situation (a perceived threat) has been resolved, and it is safe to move on.

When the sympathetic system is activated, adrenaline is released, our heart rate increases, Read More

Fr. Glenn: Planting Season

by

By Father Glenn Jones:

Ah, ‘tis St. Paddy’s Day, when those (we) of Irish descent (and many others) celebrate this great man who promoted so successfully the Christian faith in the land of Erin, so much so as to be the isle’s patron saint and called “the Apostle of Ireland”.

He was not born Irish, but actually Welsh or Scottish, taken in a slave raid as a boy by Irish pagans or possibly pirates. After six years, he escaped and returned home and eventually became a priest, and Read More

Saint Patrick is Read More
