Posts From The Road: Dantes View And Artists Drive At Death Valley National Park

by

Artists Palette: Artists Palette is the star viewpoint on the nine mile Artists Drive area of Death Valley National Park. This view features some of the most colorful rock formations within the national park. The formations are a result of volcanic activity millions of years ago and the array of colors are caused by oxidation of the various minerals found in the rocks. A scale of the scene is seen by two groups of visitors who are located near the center of the photo who were getting a closer view of the rock formations and colors in the area from a ridge line of white rock.

Fr. Glenn: Even If He Will Not…

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Big week this week for most of us Christians, beginning today with Palm (Passion) Sunday, with the rest of Holy Week following as we journey with Jesus to the cross on Good Friday and celebration of His resurrection on Sunday April 20. Many think that Christmas is the holiest day of the year, but while Christmas is certainly a prerequisite for it (at least in the way that God ordained), the greatest day for Christianity is Easter. In Christmas the divine assumes humanity with itself, and with the Easter resurrection divinity opens humanity to new life with Him in eternity as Jesus Read More

Los Alamos

Now showing at SALA, through Easter Sunday, April 20, is a wonderful, new animated film, “The King of Kings”. It tells the story of Jesus in a way both children and adults can appreciate. 

The film is based on “The Life of Our Lord” the story that Charles Dickens wrote solely for his own children. It was his tradition to read it to his family at Christmas each year. Dickens, who died in 1870, insisted the story not be published during his lifetime and not until the family agreed to it. In fact, it was 1934 before the story was published, 64 years after Charles Dickens’ death Read More

Playing The Hand You’re Dealt: A Tribute To Parents And Community

By JAMES RICKMAN

Choices have consequences.

That’s what my parents used to say, starting back as far as I can remember. As a tiny kid I didn’t have the bandwidth or life experience to grasp the larger context of those three words beyond recognition that bad behavior led to delivery of a few quick, violent smacks to my backside from The Belt or a Rubbermaid dustpan.

Years later, during a few fall weekends each year, we were dragged up to the ski hill for work parties. As a husky kid, the lot I usually drew was hauling freshly chainsawed aspen stumps to the bed of a truck so they could be hauled away Read More
