Everybody on my Christmas list last year got a mug. They are my favorite thing to make, and I can make a bunch of them in a day, especially if the weather is dry. They dry quickly and I can get the handles attached the same afternoon. In a couple more dry days, I can bisque fire them, then glaze and glaze fire them. In the course of a week it goes from raw clay to a coffee mug that might be used daily.

At least I hope they get used daily.

Scenes From Recent Trip On Ring Road In Iceland

by

What is thought to be a Common Murre stands alone on a small iceberg spotted by Los Alamos Daily Post photographer and videographer Nate Limback during his recent 8-day trip traveling the Ring Road in Iceland.

Fr. Glenn: Be Content!

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Harry Potter fans will likely remember—not too fondly—Dudley, Harry’s spoiled cousin whose taunting Harry was forced to endure. And yet …  Dudley’s obnoxious entitled attitude is not so uncommon these days.

For instance, it’s not infrequent that people come to priests and ministers with the same plaint directed at Jesus: “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” (Luke 12:13) Sorry, dude (my phrase; not Jesus’); if that other person isn’t doing right, his conscience is not going to be suddenly shocked into doing so. Anyway … how do I know that you’re Read More
