Fr. Glenn: Treading Water
Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, we’re coming close to Easter. Next weekend (March 27 this year) is Passion (Palm) Sunday, in which we remember and contemplate especially the passion of Jesus—His arrest, torture and crucifixion. This is why the Catholic devotion—very common during Lent—of the Stations of the Cross. We Christians should be more attentive to meditate on His passion frequently, because Jesus does it for us … takes upon Himself the deserved punishment that our sins and wrongs against God and one another deserve. He saves us from ourselves.
As analogy, we might imagine we’re on the Titanic Read More

Los Alamos Light Opera’s production of Sister Act seems sort of miraculous. Its plot is honestly ridiculous; it requires the viewer to take a suspension of disbelief. The cast of characters is goofy and kooky, and to top it all off, everyone Read More

Trinity on the Hill
The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. He said to me, “Mortal, can these bones live?” Ezekiel 37:1.
Six years ago, clergy friends and I were wondering if our congregations would survive. We couldn’t hold services. Parishioners Read More
Op-Ed: Pass The Rest Of The Health Care Worker Compacts This Year
By FRED NATHAN
Executive Director
Think New Mexico
It was a big bipartisan win for New Mexicans when the legislature and governor enacted Senate Bill 1 to bring New Mexico into the interstate licensure compact for doctors. According to the New Mexico Medical Board, joining this compact will result in an increase of 10-15% in the number of doctors applying to practice in New Mexico annually.
Unfortunately, eight other compacts needed to address shortages of psychologists, counselors, EMTs, physician’s assistants, speech therapists and audiologists, physical therapists, occupational Read More
The FOIA: Off To A Slow Start, Picked Up Speed, Now Hitting A Brick Wall

Feb. 16, 2026
It was June 1968 when I arrived in Washington, D.C., after a year in New Orleans clerking for Fifth Circuit Judge John Minor Wisdom. A new law requiring more government transparency was just going into effect.
I had accepted a job as a Special Assistant to Assistant Attorney General Frank Wozencraft in the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). While I worked on efforts to advance the confirmation of Abe Fortas to be Chief Justice on the Supreme Court, I was also assigned to work with OLC attorney Warren Belmar, Read More
Catch Of The Week: Tax Season Is Also Scam Season
By REBECCA RUTHERFORD
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
It is that magical time of year when Americans gather their receipts, promise themselves they will be more organized next year, and log into tax software with mild dread. Unfortunately, it is also the time of year when scammers come out of hibernation.
Tax season is the prime hunting ground for cyber criminals. People are expecting messages from accountants, banks, and the IRS. That makes it easier for scammers to slip fake messages into the mix and hope someone clicks before thinking twice.
Every year the same tricks come back with a few updates. Read More

Freedom of information should be freedom of information for all.
It is not.
As we approach the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and celebrate national Sunshine Week March 15-21, we look back at the signing of the law by Lyndon B. Johnson on July 4, 1966: “I signed this measure with a deep sense of pride that the United States is an open society in which the people’s right to know is cherished and guarded.” Read More
