Pastor Granillo: I AM
By Pastor Raul GranilloLos Alamos
God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:14 (NIV)
When God came to Moses in a burning bush and told him that he was sending him back to free the Israelites from slavery, Moses asked a couple of fair questions.

In our lives today, we may often ask these same questions: “Who am I to interfere with what is happening?” and “Who are you God to command me to do so?”
What we may not understand, and what Moses seemed to have missed as well, is that who God is and how we understand Read More

The Nutcracker Ballet set in 1940s Los Alamos was extraordinary this year. The dancers, the sets, the costumes, the spy who danced through several scenes in pursuit of classified documents–all of it was thoroughly enchanting. It wasn’t the first time I’d wondered what a sugarplum is when the Sugarplum Fairy ruled the Land of the Sweets waiting for her prince to return; this year I followed through.
