Standing on the platform at Brooks Falls in Alaska’s Katmai National Park, I wanted to warn the salmon and tell them, “Look before you leap!” I lost count as to how many of the fish ended up in the mouth of the ginormous brown bear perched at the edge of the falls. While the other bears stood in the water and actually had to work for their food, this guy just planted himself in the perfect spot, ready to catch salmon after salmon in his Read More

Sheep Creek Bay: Sheep Creek is one of many contributors to Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Seen is Sheep Creek Bay, framed nicely by the red cliffs and hills, which is a part of the large and long reservoir. This is near Wyoming and it is easy to visualize how the reservoir is opening up and becoming wider as it exits the deep canyons to the southern part of Flaming Gorge Reservoir.

Fr. Glenn: Overlap

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Well … it’s been quite the “interesting” start to the new year, hasn’t it?

New York City has its first Muslim socialist mayor; that will definitely be “interesting” in the financial capital of the world. I, like many, find it hard to believe that, with the tragic history of socialism throughout the world, people are still swayed by its siren song. “Equity” sounds good, but that necessarily presumes equity in effort, ability, etc., which does not happen in practice. If I work harder to produce/earn more, it’s taken from me to give to someone who does not. So why work hard, or at all? Read More

The holiday season has come to a close, family visits are wrapping up, and it’s time to refocus and get back to work. If selling your home is on your mind, we’d like to share a few important considerations.

One of the first decisions you’ll need to make is how you want to sell your home:

  • Use a broker to fully market and manage the sale
  • Use a broker only for transaction management and paperwork after finding a buyer
  • Or sell entirely on your own (FSBO)

While we may be a bit biased, it’s worth honestly considering the time, effort, and responsibilities involved—especially Read More
