Fr. Glenn: Searching … searching …

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

I saw an interesting post the other day:

“Just a reminder that 75% of the time you’ll ever get to spend with your kids is over by the time they turn 12. And 90% of your time with them is gone by the time they’re 18. So slow down, be present and enjoy these short, sweet years. They’ll soon be over.” Good advice. Just sharing. Remember “Cat’s in the Cradle”. Nobody at their death ever lamented spending too much time with their children.

On an unrelated note: we’ve all likely seen comics depicting aliens coming to earth with various themes of “Take me to your leader” or zooming back to outer Read More

Fr. Glenn: Hushing Hecticity

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Yes, yes … I made up the word in the title. But it seems applicable these days, no? We are constantly awash with noise these days. Always there is constant stimulation, whether it be streaming music or television, videos or surfing the web. If you live in a larger city, there’s always the sirens, traffic noise punctuated by the not infrequent roar of loud motorcycles and muscle cars—a type of modern chest-beating by younger (and some not so young) guys. We rarely, if ever, take time just to think … to be still, someplace quiet. So rarely resting in our waking moments.

Some say our modern Read More

“First day of school” photos have been flooding social and news media this past week. More than 3,700 students enrolled in Los Alamos Public Schools this year. For many, back-to-school is a time of excited anticipation for the school year ahead, while others lament or are anxious and unsure. All, however, will be expected to step outside their comfort zones.

At the beginning of the summer I had resigned myself to not doing any art this year. I have a huge assignment from the Archbishop; to lead the self-study that will, hopefully, lead to our seminary receiving its full accreditation and therefore, national recognition. It is no mean feat. The thesis I produced to get my MDiv was simpler and will end up being shorter. Read More
