Pastor Granillo: Numb
By Pastor Raul GranilloNumb.
“I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do

Finding Joy In New Friend From Animal Shelter
Newly adopted Tinker helps heal grieving Los Alamos family. Courtesy/ Holly BatesWell, it’s been two months now that I had to say goodbye to my best friend Daisy Mae. In all honesty, I took her death harder than I thought I would. I literally cried for a month. The depression took hold and would not let go.
I kept smelling her all over the house and even had to buy a new vacuum cleaner as every time I turned it on, the house filled with her and just about broke my heart over and over again.
I realize now just how truly bonded I was with her. Such so, that I still can’t Read More

How The Hen House Turns: Knowing Self
How the Hen House Turns—Knowing SelfRecently I talked about Theory of Mind—how some animals obviously recognize that others are aware. There’s good evidence that animals are aware of what other critters are thinking or planning.
Whenever my duck Ms. Khaki came close to me with a soft “quack quack,” she knew I would get the trowel and dig up damp spots in the Hen House mud to provide her with the juicy worms she loved. Once, she showed me where I had left the trowel.
There is a good case to be made for some animals who are also self-aware. Great apes, Read More
