After the last fiasco of wood checking, I split my little pieces of apricot and made a cross this morning. Once again, I was taking a break from the work that I am supposed to be doing and have been slogging away at for the past few weeks. It’s simple and plain, but it’s something I could finish in an hour and be done with, instead of having to prep clay, wedge, throw, clean-up, then trim and dry and fire.
A lot of art takes a lot of time, not even taking Read More

Fr. Glenn: Rebel!!
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Hmmm … a couple of weeks ago we were looking at a potential coup d’état in Russia, and this weekend (7/1) we’re witnessing all sorts of uprising and rioting in France—just as we’re coming up to Bastille Day on July 14, no less. Well, it IS summer, after all—the favored time for such things. But, in violation of Newton’s law, such action results in an opposite yet unequal reaction—oppression, violent quelling of riots, sometimes curfews and even martial law, depending upon the humanity and morality of governments involved, as well as the determination and resources of Read More

In my former life as a practicing lawyer, I would sometimes cringe at lawyer jokes. For sure, many of the jokes make me laugh and I don’t deny a lot of aspects of legal practice are ripe for a little humor. What made me cringe, however, was the stereotype promoted – a “lawyer persona” of greed and dishonesty that, for sure, was justified for more than a few lawyers, but not all. And it Read More
