Fr. Glenn: Re(Presenting) Ourselves

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Maybe you’ve caught some of the confirmation hearings for prospective (some now confirmed) members of President Trump’s cabinet. It’s the same every time when a new administration comes into office—the sidestepping of ticklish questions, and “gotcha” questions by adversaries on the various examining committees.

Saint Job of Pochaiv Orthodox Church

I am extremely lucky, or blessed by providence, if you will, I will admit that freely. I was born into a loving middle-class family and believed from the beginning that I could achieve whatever I put my mind to. I was encouraged to follow my heart into art school after high school. In retrospect that may not have been the wisest choice.

During college in Las Cruces, I was a courtesy clerk at a grocery store that was not the nicest of places. Let’s just say they found it necessary to hire a third-party security guard after dark. Read More
