Fr. Glenn: ‘We Have No King But Caesar’
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, we come to Easter this weekend (April 9)—THE biggest and most important celebration of the Christian faith and year. Those looking in from outside may think that Christmas is Christianity’s biggest celebration because of all the decoration, well-known songs, gift-giving, etc., and certainly the event that Christmas commemorates—the birth of Jesus—is an essential preliminary, but the whole and purpose of Jesus’ life leads to His resurrection on Easter morn and the affirmation of the eternal life that God has prepared for humanity.

Easter/Pascha: it is a Sunday and a season of the year, when new life and freedom are preached and possibilities are endless. For the Christian, the resurrection of a man named Yeshua/Jesus, after a torturous death by crucifixion 2,000 years ago, is the centerpiece of our faith. More important to us than the day of his birth, celebrated as Christmas (Christ-Mass) each year, is the morning when Jesus Read More

You have interviewed Brokers and you have decided who to work with, NOW WHAT?
While every transaction is different, a common transaction may include:
- We suggest the Seller having a whole home pre-listing inspection done, it’s not required, but suggested. By the Seller having an inspection done, Seller’s can address any, some, or none of the inspection issues and usually reduce selling time and further Buyer negotiations.
- Next, a flurry of paperwork will come your way for electronic signature – Don’t worry your Broker should take care

By SHELLY TARANTELLO CFP®

Events through March would again test a market that has continued to demonstrate resilience. While volatile conditions remain, and despite equities’ February retreat carrying into mid-March, the major indices ended the first quarter of 2023 up.
If one were to look solely at the headlines, this may have come as a surprise. In the days before the Ides of March, the failure of Silicon Valley Bank for lack of liquidity stoked concerns of panic-induced bank runs and a bank-collapse contagion. Read More
An Open Book: Passover, Glazed Donuts, And Graduate School
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Los Alamos
Passover, glazed donuts, and graduate school do not mix well. This is a fact that I encountered, for five consecutive years, while laboring on my doctoral degree. Full appreciation of this physical law requires some background, so please bear with me for a paragraph or two.
Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is the Jewish week-long holiday celebrating the Biblical Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. There is a ceremonial dinner, called the Passover Seder, that begins the holiday week and introduces the observance of the ritual laws surrounding this holiday, and central Read More

With Holy Week here, some of my favorite dishes are beginning to make their annual appearance at my dinner table with much fanfare. My Aunt Pauline came over to visit this past weekend and we were talking about all the delicious foods our moms and grandmas used to make like panocha, alverjón maduro and torta de huevo. It was always a delight to help in the kitchen as these dishes graced our tables but once a year and the opportunity to watch a master making each dish was a rare occasion that Read More
Gruninger: Do You Need A Wellness Budget?
By JACCI GRUNINGER,

Did you know there is more than one way to be tired?
The Wellness Wheel I use as a yoga therapist and inner relationship focusing coach is divided into seven categories: physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, financial, environmental and social.
I regularly work with clients in the emotional, intellectual and physical realms. Although the other slices sometimes play into my work as well.
You might think there is only one way to be tired; you didn’t get enough sleep. Which is definitely a way to be tired. However, as you can see from the Wellness Read More
