“So it looks like you have a little somethin’, somethin’ on your forehead.” Did anyone say that to you this week?
If you answered yes, you probably are part of a faith community where the “imposition of ashes” is shared on Ash Wednesday. If you answered no, or if you were the person asking about that cross on your Read More

Fr. Glenn: Sent To Serve
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Much to our dismay, hardly a day passes in which we don’t see reports in the media of corruption in politics, in churches, and in others of influence and/or authority. This is just one of the dangerous temptations of power and fame: the capacity to use power and access to community goods for one’s own selfish advantage. And, of course, where opportunity lay, opportunists will then flock. Such is the magnet of statehouses and those in executive authority—from crooked cops to crooked presidents … from shady school board members to unscrupulous national legislators. Thus, Read More

These days, when I read something, I’m often in a hurry. I’m either reading to get the dang thing read—reading a chapter ahead for a class I’m facilitating, for example—or I’m reading for information, skimming to get the gist.
Less frequently do I read things slowly—things like poetry, for example, or sacred texts, Read More
Fr. Glenn: ‘Too Many Rules’
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
You know … I like going fast. I miss driving on I-10 in west Texas where there’s an 85 MPH speed limit, so I think I’ll start doing that on the local interstates and roads … and maybe some residential areas. Oooo … and slalom in and out between cars! That’s fun!! I just don’t like traffic rules; they restrict what I want!
Well, obviously such a program of behavior will sooner or later inevitably end in traffic citations at best, destroyed lives and property at worst. Thus … traffic laws.
One of the common reasons given for giving up the Catholic faith in particular, or the Christian faith Read More

Kyrala: Response To ‘Appeal For Legitimate Art In Art Tunnel’
By GEORGE KYRALA
Los Alamos
I am very upset by Rabbi Shlachter’s mail to the Los Alamos Daily Post (link), it is reprehensible and hurts many feelings beyond misstating some facts.
The comment and feeling expressed by a Rabbi “to erase expressions from some people’s comments and aspirations on the underpass tunnel” is racist. Erasing people and their feeling just because you feel “repugnant” to an idea that expresses freedom for an abused nation is so undemocratic, uncivilized, unbecoming, and inhumane. That feeling may reflect, and may explain, the total abuse that is been inflicted on Read More
Scene Of Great Blessing Of Water 2024 At Ashley Pond

The group commemorates this blessing, and calls down blessings anew, when they submerge a cross in the water three times while singing the Troparion (prayer) of Theophany. ‘When Thou, O Lord, wast baptized in the Jordan, the worship of the Trinity was made manifest! For the voice of the Father bore witness to Thee, calling Thee his Beloved Son. And the Spirit, in the form of a dove, confirmed the truthfulness of his Word. O Christ Read More
Fr. Glenn: Stopping Pretending
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Alas … hardly a week … a day … goes by without a news story of some public scandal—this or that person betraying public trust or private vows. Very often it’s politicians who are, as a character in “The Hunt for Red October” put it, kissing babies in public and stealing their lollipops in private—the hypocritical face, sometimes criminally so. Rich and famous shattering wedding vows is so common that it’s not even a shocker anymore—more like a tally count. But some of the most painful for we Christians is when other “Christians” are caught embezzling, lying grievously, or disregarding Read More

Anthropologically speaking, the essentials that make us human include bipedalism, language, the tool-making, self-awareness, and the ability to imagine alternative futures. While other species possess some of these traits, it is the combination that makes us uniquely human.
