Letter To The Editor: LA Cares Thanks Farmers’ Market And Mystery Man
By LA Cares Board MembersLA Cares, our local food pantry, set up a table to take in donations at Thursday’s Farmers’ Market. We would like to thank the vendors and customers who donated produce and other items for our distribution later that day and Friday morning.
One interesting older gentleman wandered past our table several times, then came up to talk. He opened his wallet, took out a $100 bill, and said, “Thank you for all you do.”

Cinema Cindy Reviews: The BFG
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB“The BFG” is a hybrid animation/motion-capture/live-action film from Steven Spielberg based on the 1982 children’s book by Roald Dahl. Even if you don’t know the book (as I did not), you may find the film delightful and entertaining, as did I.
BFG stands for Big Friendly Giant, the main character acted and voiced by Mark Rylance. I admit to becoming a Mark Rylance fan last year when the BBC mini-series Wolf Hall played on PBS (a great book series, as well!) Then he was in the Academy Award nominated film Bridge of Spies, also last year, for which he won Best Supporting

Pastor Granillo: Praise The Lord!
Pastor RAUL GRANILLOAdmittedly, there are days when praising God is harder than others. It’s harder to praise God when my wife and four kids are sick. It’s harder to praise God when an unexpected bill arises but the income doesn’t change. It’s harder to praise God when I feel like I have failed. It’s harder to praise God when we lose loved ones. The truth is, there are a lot of times when it is hard to praise God.
I used to think that all of the Psalms were Pollyanna type messages of how perfect life was for the believer and how easy it must be to praise the Lord. Then I read them. I realized that many,
