Fuselier: Marlon’s Road To Emmaus
By BOB FUSELIER
Los Alamos
Editor’s note: This is the third of a three-part series about the NPH’s work in Latin America. Please see previous part one here and part two here.
Marlon’s Emmaus moment came somewhere during his early 30’s. Before that, he had experienced the love of his two parents early in his life, enough to give him the confidence needed to survive living on the streets of Tegucigalpa as a young teenager. He had also felt a tremendous sense of abandonment as a young child when his mother died and as a young teenager when his father told him that he could no longer support him. On the streets, Read More

If we want our country to continue to be a representative democracy that works – and I hope we all do – as citizens we need to know more than a little about how it functions. Some of us have worried in recent years that young people are not learning enough about civics in school.
The Civic Trust of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation has stepped up to contribute with a new program called the National Civics Bee.
The program, a contest for middle school students, is in the second year of its pilot phase, and New Mexico is one of the Read More

Anglers, farmers and television weather forecasters have added a new word to their vocabulary. “Nonsoon” is being used to describe this year’s disappointing monsoon season.
During monsoon season, New Mexico receives a substantial portion of its annual precipitation. This year has seen well-below normal amounts of rain and record-breaking heat. It was the hottest July ever recorded this year. Streamflows have been steadily dropping and are now below normal.
Fortunately, there has been enough moisture to end restrictions on campfires Read More
Fr. Glenn: Searching … searching …
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
I saw an interesting post the other day:
“Just a reminder that 75% of the time you’ll ever get to spend with your kids is over by the time they turn 12. And 90% of your time with them is gone by the time they’re 18. So slow down, be present and enjoy these short, sweet years. They’ll soon be over.” Good advice. Just sharing. Remember “Cat’s in the Cradle”. Nobody at their death ever lamented spending too much time with their children.
On an unrelated note: we’ve all likely seen comics depicting aliens coming to earth with various themes of “Take me to your leader” or zooming back to outer Read More
Wallin: Study Shows $1 Billion Potential Bill For New Mexico Oil And Gas Clean Up Without BLM Rule Change
By AMBER WALLIN, MPA
Executive Director
New Mexico Voices for Children
From a young age, we teach our children the importance of taking responsibility for their actions and cleaning up after themselves when they make a mess. We should expect the same from the oil and gas industry working in New Mexico.
But for far too long, antiquated policies under the current leasing system have left our families on the hook to pay to clean up messes left behind by bankrupt oil and gas companies – messes involving orphaned wells with decaying and leaking infrastructure that can pollute our air and water. This has Read More
Home Country: Beats The Alternative
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
Ran into Doc down at The Mule Barn the other day, so naturally we had to rid the world of about a gallon of coffee and solve the world’s problems for an hour. It is the duty of all true Americans of our age, you know.
Doc said he’d been aching a little bit lately. Joints or something. He’d been out fixing the pasture fence where the mare had been pushing on it. The next morning it made him walk funny.
“I remember when my dad was my age,” he said. “I asked him how it felt to be this old. Well, he looked at me as though I were committing a crime by having brown hair, you know? And then he said, Read More
