Living in the southwest or, more specifically, New Mexico or, as I like to call it, home has made me, like many others, addicted to hot food.

It's no surprise to me that when I go out to eat my friends or myself and family are reaching for the hot sauce. Eggs are not eggs unless you add the green chili or the Tabasco. An omelet, well, isn't an omelet until you pile on the salsa. Some might say, Thomas...

Despite its request for an injunction being denied in federal court, the Village of Logan will continue to fight construction of the Ute Water Project. "We are very disappointed with Judge Johnson's ruling," said Larry Wallin, Village of Logan administrator. U.S. District Court judge William P. Johnson's ruling rejecting the village's request on Jan. 14 cleared the way for construction to start on the Eastern New Mexico Water Utility Authority's project to divert water from Ute Lake to communities in Curry and Roosevelt counties. Wallin said...

Last week, we visited about the joys of living in a small town and how fortunate we are. Let's continue along that same line as we think about a few more habits we exhibit. I was reminded of one of them when I heard a news report about a project in Boston in which a group of people decided to show how much a simple smile can mean to the passersby. They made an effort to smile at each person they met and found that some people returned those smiles. Because we are so accustomed to seeing smiling faces wherever we turn, I was a little baffled at...
I saw a billboard recently that said "Truck Wash" at the top and "Hand Wash" at the bottom. My first thought was about what was being washed was that it was neat that you could wash whatever you wanted from your truck (the biggest thing on the road) to just your hands. After I realized that the sign was probably referring to how the trucks were washed, it also occurred to me that some people want to worship God on their own terms. Some even prefer to attend a "whatever you want" church where all beliefs are equally acceptable. Jesus said that...
