Defensible Space Is Crucial For Protecting Structures

From Los Alamos County:

Defensible space is crucial for protecting structures and ensuring the safety of firefighters during a wildland fire. You can create defensible space by removing weeds, brush, and firewood, and by properly spacing out vegetation around your property. Once this space is established, it will be easy to maintain.

Defensible space is the area around your home in which vegetation, debris, and other combustible fuels have been removed to slow the spread of fire to and from the home. It prevents vegetation from igniting due to direct flame contact and spreading to your home. Read More

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Well, a very blessed Easter to all! While Christmas is prerequisite in salvation history as God has ordained that history, Easter itself is the holiest day of the Christian year in our remembrance of the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Because, as the apostles write, He is simply the “first-born” from the dead; His faithful disciples are called to follow, and through His resurrection comes our hope for eternal life with God.

Of course, leading up to this great joy was pain … the extreme bittersweetness of Jesus’ Passion and death—so bitter in the divine who loves us literally Read More

By The Rev. Mary Ann Hill

On the Sunday following Easter, many churches read the story of “Doubting Thomas”. Thomas sometimes gets a bad rap. He really was more of a pragmatist than a doubter. He was a plain-spoken straight-shooter. His skepticism was completely understandable, given the circumstances. Like all the rest of Jesus’ followers, Thomas knew that his Lord was dead and buried in a tomb. But Read More
