CLOVIS - For almost four decades after its completion in 1932, the building at Clovis' Fourth and Mitchell streets was the town's post office, with depressions in the marble floor still evincing those spots where thousands of customers stood at the counter or pivoted at a window.

ALBUQUERQUE — The nation’s trade fight has come to New Mexico’s dairy industry, which is watching prices for its products decline and purchase orders getting delayed or canceled. And while cheese and whey are a big worry, there’s also concern about New Mexico’s steel and aluminum products, mattresses, cotton and salsa. On the horizon is the threat to the state’s biggest nut export — the pecan — once farmers harvest this year’s crop and start selling it, said Jeff Witte, who heads the New Mexico Agriculture Department. The l...

I try to avoid ever firing any shots in what have been called the “worship wars.” “Worship” and “war.” Those two words together, not held at arm’s length from each other by a conjunction, form a jarring contradiction. We know what the Apostle Paul would say because we know what he did say in Philippians 4:2 to two squabbling gals named Euodia and Syntyche (who some wit has christened Odious and Soon-touchy). He doesn’t describe the “issue” or take sides. He just says, “Get along.” The mere fact that Christians were fussing...
Billy Sunday started out as an American athlete, playing outfield in the National League in the 1880’s. He went on to become the most well-known and leading American evangelist in the first two decades of the 20th century. Billy Sunday once said: “The fellow that has no money is poor. The fellow that has nothing but money is poorer still.” That statement would describe my great Uncle Ben. All the while Sunday was preaching, my great uncle Ben was living a life of gambl...
