Re: Driver Threats to Pedestrians

Recently, my wife and I were walking west on the north side of Central in Los Alamos. Traffic in both directions was heavy.  I noticed that a compact car was trying to make a left-hand turn near Fuller Lodge.  The car had been there for some time, and there were about 5 or 6 cars backed up behind the car.

As I stepped off the sidewalk into the street, the car suddenly came driving directly toward my wife and me. Fortunately, the car stopped in time and we did not get clobbered. The car zoomed off and parked on the west side of Fuller Lodge. Before Read More

Fr. Glenn: Death Of A Salesman

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Well … a sad week. As has been said many times over the last few days, it’s tragic when someone who exercises calm, rational free speech is murdered simply because his beliefs differ from some others. Christians, of course, are historically well acquainted with persecution: from the beginnings even to the present day. And, no, in many nations (like ours, gracias a Dios) we don’t generally have to be overly concerned about being killed for Christian faith, but other types of persecution exist. It’s now known that in the previous administration, ardent Christians were scrutinized Read More
