Our Sacred Honor

Everyone be safe this holiday, especially with the fireworks. We’ve already had one major fire near us this year (Cajete); that’s more than enough! Watch those campfires, too!

As we celebrate Independence Day this week, it’s a time for reflection and thanksgiving. This year, of course, we have a new president—some say for good, some say for ill. But that which all should give thanks for concerning such a change is the peaceful transfer of power and governing—a method of government and transition arguably Read More

Sportsmanship and easygoing methods are all right, but it is the prospect of a hot fight that brings out the crowds. –John McGraw
 
“We need to get there at least an hour before they open the doors.”
 
“I know,” I told my wife, “I’m hurrying.”
 
Although we were over an hour early, a line had already formed. Actually, it was more like a mob of people hovering around the entrance doors. Of the six sets of entry doors that lead to the venue, all but one were closed.
 
It was being used by staff to enter and exit and make last minute

Another weekend. Where are those classifieds? 

One thing I like to do on weekends is to haunt the garage/yard/estate sales. I usually don’t do much more than take up space, because I’m too cheap to buy much (I think my highest purchase to date is $20). Seems like there’s always some little thing that we need here at the church or at the rectory that I can get for 10 percent of full price (or less) at those sales.

The Bible tells about God using Moses to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt. The God, YHWH, freed the Hebrews from their Egyptian slave masters.
Although God used the plagues to reveal His absolute power over Egypt, the Hebrews still found that their fear of Egypt held them in bondage.
 
At the Red Sea, they saw the Egyptians pursuing them and cried to Moses: Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, “Leave us alone;
