Fr. Glenn: Reminders

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

As of this writing the California fires are still raging through the Los Angeles and surrounding areas—such a tragedy, as is the flooding a few months ago in North Carolina and other natural and man-made disasters throughout our nation and the world.

Certainly Los Alamosians—especially longer-term residents—can empathize with those suffering now in California, as well as can many here in New Mexico. Dante-esque scenes of the fires of not long ago around Los Alamos are common in photos of the time, as are those from other fires in the Jemez Mountains, around Ruidoso, Cimmaron Read More

Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church

“Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?” “I will, with God’s help.”

This is one of the promises those being baptized make in the Episcopal church, and it’s by far the one that most people claim as their favorite. This Sunday, for many of us, the story of Christ’s own baptism will be our theme, and in my church Read More

Ah, the power of food. It can improve moods, revive memories and spark ideas.

Flipping through its pages, Pollard was struck with an idea.

That idea was to self-publish a curated collection of more than 1,200 New Mexican traditional recipes titled Enchantment: A New Read More

Posts From The Road: Unique RVs Spotted Along The Way…

by

Skoolie In Nebraska: A very common ‘hand crafted’ RV conversion is the ‘skoolie’, a converted and remodeled school bus. (Skoolie is the correct spelling for these RV conversions). Some skoolies are a little ‘rough’ in their construction and some are very nice and well constructed. Shown is a skoolie that we spotted back in 2017 while we were camped near Alliance, Neb. for the solar eclipse that year. We were camped very close to Carhenge, which is a unique art display of Stonehenge but made with cars. There were hundreds of spectators gathered at Carhenge and we when we walked over for a visit we spotted Read More

Fr. Glenn: I Resolve…

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

You may have seen in the Santa Fe New Mexican on Jan. 4 a story about the possibility of a nun with local connections being considered for a declaration of sainthood. Sister Blandina Segale, a Sister of Charity, worked in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and the surrounding area in the latter 1800s through the early 1900s, establishing hospitals and schools and caring for many. The cause for her to be declared a saint is progressing, though it has quite a journey yet.

When hearing about the process of a person being declared a saint, sometimes we hear people speaking of the Church “making him/her Read More

The beginning of each new year typically provides a clean slate, a chance to reform unhealthy habits, a feeling of hope for our communal future. But this New Years Day opened with news of a terror attack. What can this mean for our nascent year 2025? 

Our first reaction was likely one of horror. The intentionality of mowing down people horrifies us. Compounding our horror is having our fresh Read More
