Recently, I went to see “Are You There God? It’s me, Margaret.” It’s a movie based on a novel of the same name written by Judy Blume.
Blume, now 85, is having a bit of a public resurgence as the movie opens. She had an interview on the PBS News Hour and a lengthy article in The Atlantic Monthly, as well as appearing in other publications.
If you aren’t familiar with Blume, she has long been a trusted guide for kids as their bodies are changing. She explores the impact of divorce, religion, friendships, death and, for heaven’s sake, sex on their Read More

Something is happening at Abiquiu Lake and it’s looking good.
After suffering from low water levels the last several years due to a prolonged drought, the reservoir on the Chama River in Northern New Mexico has finally been able to keep some water behind its dam and increase the size of the lake.

If teenager Beau Wilson – now forever labeled the Farmington mass murderer – had been behaving erratically, and a relative or friend had noticed and had sought help from law enforcement, what might law enforcement have done?
If a friend or family member had been concerned about the houseful of firearms he had access to, or the assault weapon he purchased several months ago, or the three magazines for that weapon he purchased a few days before his murderous rampage, and had asked for help, what might law enforcement have done?

Fr. Glenn: The Goad
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
A blessed Armed Forces Day weekend to all past and present veterans out there; we thank you for your service to our nation and her people. I saw almost no note of it in the media, but that does not mean you are not very much appreciated. The military is highlighted in times of national trouble, but attention fades a bit during quieter times of relative peace—peace, which is always a blessing for a nation’s people. Yet this is the way of any vocation of service: at times out of sight and mind, yet always at the ready.
Knowing you are there—many on the ramparts daily—gives your fellow citizens Read More
Home Country: What Kind Of Dog Was He?
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
“I took Duckworth to the dog show up in the city last weekend,” Dud said.
The other members of the Mule Barn truck stop’s world dilemma think tank and philosophy counter just looked at him.
Doc put it gently. “Dud, was this so he could get some inspiration on looking good?”

To be honest, Duckworth looked like he Read More
