Fr. Glenn: Guilty!

By Rev. Glenn Jones
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Los Alamos

You know … guilt gets quite the bad rap. And “sin”? Hooo-boy! … don’t even bring THAT one up. That’ll make you persona non grata even in many Christian circles these days. But what IS sin? … that bugaboo word that even Christians in our day often disdain to utter? It is a short sharp word often ridiculed … yet certainly not by Jesus and the apostles, who spoke of sin often. 

For us Christians, sin can be simply defined primarily as the purposeful departure from the will and teaching of God, and therefore from the Read More

Pastor Granillo: Healing Hatred

By Pastor Raul Granillo
La Vista Church of the Nazarene
White Rock

All my friends are heathens, take it slow

Wait for them to ask you who you know

Please don’t make any sudden moves

You don’t know the half of the abuse – 21 Pilots, “Heathen”

Every person in this world has a narrative. We all have a story about who we are, where we came from, and what we have gone through to get to where we are. Each person would be rightfully hurt if another were to presume what their story was, or presume where they come from or what they have been through. Every person in this world has a narrative—it is the story, Read More

Just One Thing To Do This Week: Save Some Ice Cream

By MARY BETH MAASSEN
Los Alamos

My husband thinks I am cleaning the garage. Well, I am IN the garage. I am actually sitting in my car with the air conditioning on because it is so hot this afternoon. And, instead of cleaning the garage I am eating an ice cream bar I found hidden in the extra freezer. When I try to hide food from myself it usually doesn’t work. Certainly not this time.

As I sit in the car I ponder the piles of crap I have stacked around the perimeter of the space. I see things I want to sell, things I want to donate, and things I want to bequeath to others, but mostly I see things that need to be hauled Read More
