You may remember the big news last week about the two billion dollar Powerball prize up for grabs. There was a news report after the drawing which reported that, after taxes, the winner would receive a “mere” $634 million. “Awww … poor thing!” said … nobody.
But it gets one to thinking. Not about exorbitant taxes (well … maybe that, too), but rather: “How much is enough?” After all, even the richest never seem to have enough, though claiming that it’s the challenge that keeps them striving—like a video game in which billionaires try to get the “high score”. But scripture reminds Read More

It’s hard when a life is cut short and you don’t get to see a young person run the whole race. Here, I want to demonstrate how faith, friendship, community, education, commitment and service – return once again to faith.
I recall when a young family visited a playgroup, I would guess around the year 2000. When a house came up for sale on our block, I prayed to God to please let this nice family with the really nice son buy the house. The nice son, who was Read More

As Thanksgiving approaches, many dream of feasts with juicy turkey, creamy potatoes and sweet pies with buttery, flaky crusts.
Others, however, struggle to afford the food their family needs each day. More than 4,000 people in Los Alamos County are wondering if they will have enough food (see the Los Alamos Health Services Gap Analysis Final Report from March 2020). Many of these people have steady jobs, but their income isn’t high Read More

Well, here we are … another election. (sigh). Endless ads … endless placards … endless biting rhetoric about “the other guy/gal”. We shouldn’t complain TOO much, I guess; it’s a lot better than the alternatives—absolute monarchy, dictatorship or, on the flip side, anarchy. Socrates’ all-wise philosopher-king (ref.: Plato’s “The Republic”) remains as elusive as the unicorn. Yet, it’s fairly safe to posit that all of us weary of blather as candidates tie themselves in knots pandering to virtually every imaginable group, or at least to not totally alienate potential undecideds.

“Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake.”
This prayer, attributed to the fourth century saint, Augustine of Hippo, is in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer Read More

Often times there are no words to describe the peculiar relatedness of things we see in the funeral industry – dates, times, names, cycles within seasons… Most of the time these things are subtle, but occasionally it is glaring, such was the case for the beautiful Feldman/Whitworth family recently.
After suffering the loss of their teenage daughter, Sophia, 3 years ago, the family came to us broken-hearted at the sudden loss of Sophia’s mother, Julia. Julia was still a daughter herself, a mother, wife, and friend to many. It took a few minutes Read More
