The most basic temptations in life

By: Pastor David Grousnick

A local sheriff was looking for a deputy, and one of the applicants – who was not known to be the brightest academically, was called in for an interview.

“Okay,” began the sheriff, “What is 1 and 1?” “Eleven,” came the reply. The sheriff thought to himself, “That’s not what I meant, but he’s right.”

Then the sheriff asked, “What two days of the week start with the letter ‘T’?” “Today & tomorrow” replied the applicant. The sheriff was again surprised over the answer, one that he had never thought of himself.

“Now, listen carefully, who killed Abraham Lincoln?”, asked the sheriff. The job seeker seemed a little surprised, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, “I don’t know.”

The sheriff replied, “Well, why don’t you go home and work on that one for a while?” The applicant left and wandered over to his pals who were waiting to hear the results of the interview.

He greeted them with a cheery smile, “The job is mine! The interview went great! First day on the job and I’m already working on a murder case!”

In Luke 4:1-13, it is Jesus’ first day on the job, if you will. Immediately he is confronted with three major temptations. And he is confronted with this basic question: Would he take the crown without the cross?

These are the most basic temptations in life, and they form the foundation for all other temptations.

Harry Houdini (1874-1926) was an expert at sleight of hand, a skeptic when it came to the spiritualists and other psychic phonies of his day, but he was best known for his ability to escape from what seemed to be impossible situations. Straitjackets, chains, ropes, jail cells, strange devices such as a milk pail filled with water – he managed to escape from one situation after another in full view of his audience.

What did him in, however, was the blow he never saw coming.

While reclining on a couch backstage after a performance he was asked by a couple of college students if he could withstand a punch to the stomach. When he answered that he could, one of the stu­dents surprised him by actually punching him several times. These blows caught him off guard and seem to have ruptured an already aggravated appendix. Houdini died a week later.

The blow we never see coming is the one that can be the most dangerous.

The temptation of Jesus might have been the blow he never saw coming.

In a way it doesn’t seem fair. Jesus had shown he could be obedient even when it didn’t suit his wishes. He seems to have been surprised, for instance, when at the age of twelve his folks had been so worried about the fact that he’d stayed behind to discuss the scriptures with the priests in the temple rather than follow them home after Passover. But follow them home he did.

The obedience of Jesus is also seen in his baptism. The hu­mility he shows in descending into the water is rewarded with a pronouncement from heaven: “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased” (Luke 3:22).

But in response to his obedience Jesus was led into the desert by the Holy Spirit to fast for forty days, and after this he was tempted. Couldn’t the temptation come at a time when he was stron­ger? Shouldn’t Jesus get a break?

The fact is that there is never a perfect time for us to face the temptations of this world! You see, temptation tries to blind us to other possibilities.

A businessman driving home from work one day, saw a little league baseball game in progress. He decided to stop and watch. He sat down in the bleachers and asked a kid what the score was.

“We’re behind 14 to nothing,” he answered with a smile.

“Really,” he responded. “I have to say you don’t look very discouraged.”

“Discouraged?” the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face. “Why should we be discouraged? We haven’t been up to bat yet.”

Welcome to the season of Lent. Do you do Lent?

When John Roberts was a boy, he was told, “Baptists don’t do Lent.” No one knew why. He suspected that it was an anti-Catholic thing, which I pray we are over.

It was the old argument, “whatever they do, we don’t!” – a curiously convoluted, twisted and unhealthy way to decide on religious practices.

Whatever the reason for “not doing Lent,” I personally think it is a great loss for any Christian not to prepare for Good Friday and Easter. Just think about it!

Every spring the baseball players prepare for the season with spring training. Every spring ordinary people prepare for summer by doing “spring cleaning.” So why shouldn’t Christians prepare for the most important events in Jesus’ ministry – what he did for us on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, what he did for us on Golgotha’s cross and at the empty tomb?

If it helps you, think of Lent as a kind of Christian spring training and spring cleaning.

Just wait for the dust to settle!! Have a great weekend!

Artesia coach calls for a White Out Game

After winning their sixth regular season district title, the Artesia Bulldogs have locked up the No. 2 seed in the 2025 NMAA Class 4A State Basketball Tournament.

Hoping to capture their first state title since 1997, the Bulldogs (17-9 overall, 5-1 district) will face the 15th-seeded Gallup Bengals (17-11 overall, 8-2 district) in the tournament’s opening round at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 8, at the Bulldog Pit. The winner advances to the quarterfinals in Albuquerque.

One loss in the tournament ends the season so nothing is more critical for Artesia than playing with a sense of urgency. With that in mind, Bulldogs head coach Michael Mondragon has called for a White Out, with fans dressing all in white for Saturday’s game.

The Bulldogs are coming off two consecutive defeats. They suffered a 45-40 loss at Goddard in the last district game Feb. 21 and four days later Portales beat them 58-57 in the first round of the district tournament game in Artesia.

“Everything the Bulldogs want is still in front of us,” Mondragon said. “Our regular and district schedules have prepared us for this four-game run. This a fun time of year, and we must go out there and compete our tails off.”

Here are the Bulldogs’ three keys to winning against the Bengals.

New season

Artesia must come out mentally ready to play. What has happened up to this point does not count; only the next 32 minutes matter. The biggest goal of winning the school’s first state title since 1997 is within reach with a one-game-at-a-time mentality.

“The past doesn’t matter, and the future will be what we make of it,” Mondragon said. “We have to focus on right now, and it starts with five great days of practice.”

Slow down the Gallup running game.

Artesia has to slow down the Bengals, who like to get up and down the court. Gallup wants to play fast on both ends of the court. Artesia should be able to handle the Bengals’ soft pressure on offense. When the Bulldogs shoot, they must get back on defense and not allow Gallup guard Sage Livingston and wingman Jayson Bruner to start the fast break.

Livingston and Bruner can be held in check offensively until one of them suddenly hits a shot and the other gets going. Each player feeds off the other. Each can shoot the 3-ball well, put the ball on the floor, and attack the basket.

“We are going to have to keep those two guys in check,” Mondragon said. “We have to play Bulldog basketball and be fundamentally sound in all areas of the game.”

The Bulldogs are athletic enough to play with the Bengals in the open court. The flow of the game will determine whether Artesia runs with the Bengals the entire match or picks its spots.

Dominate inside

The Bulldogs are the taller team and must play inside out on offense. Artesia must punish the smaller Bengals by getting the ball inside to 6-foot-8 Clay Kincaid, 6-foot-5 Steven Williams and 6-foot-4 Trent Egeland. On defense, Artesia must limit Gallup to one shot.

HB342 & SB527 Will Be Good for New Mexico

HB342 & SB527 Will Be Good for New Mexico

By Lance Sigmon

As a past chair and current board member of NAIOP New Mexico, I am recommending legislators pass HB342 & SB527, which will provide equitable property tax reform for non-residential real estate. I’m a registered Republican. Many of the Assessors across the state are Democrats. I’ve been complaining to my wife about the divisiveness and partisanship our country and communities have been engaged in. Instead of complaining about divisiveness, we wanted to be an example to the state of how compromise could actually work.

Instead of just trying to kill the disclosure bill, we reached out to members of the commercial real estate industry and sat down with the assessors to come up with a bill we could both agree on – one that neither one of us was in love with, but that took care of the major concerns of both sides.

When we put ourselves in the assessor’s shoes, we saw men and women who are mandated to bring commercial properties to a current and correct value assessment. We saw understaffed offices with limited tools/resources for appraising every single commercial property in their counties each year. We saw how equitable disclosure could help them do their mandated jobs by providing the missing data they needed to correctly value our properties.

When they put themselves in our shoes, they saw men and women who are taking risk and investing capital in our state in an effort to provide economic development opportunities for all New Mexicans. They saw the struggles we’ve had with inflation, increases in operating costs, higher interest rates and the need for predictability and transparency when it comes to property taxes.

It is important to remember property taxes are a cornerstone of local government funding, supporting essential services such as schools, public safety, and infrastructure. However, disparities in property tax assessments and rates across different types of properties and jurisdictions can undermine fairness and economic vitality.

The crux of the legislation is to provide both equitable reporting and equitable tax rates for residential and commercial properties. Residential real estate has an annual 3% tax rate increase cap. HB342 & SB527 provide an annual 12% tax rate increase cap for commercial properties for the next 12 years. The bill aims to bring valuations of non-residential properties up to statutory and equitable standards while minimizing the impact of these increases on property owners and the small businesses that occupy these buildings.

What is so important about this bill is both what it provides for economic development as well as what it provides the state. Without predictable property tax increases, it makes promoting New Mexico as a welcoming place to do business very difficult. Investors don’t want to invest in properties without having transparent and predictable tax increases year after year.

The legislation is based on Principles of Equitable Property Tax Reform

1. Modernize Assessment Practices: Property assessments should reflect current market values and be conducted on a regular basis to avoid outdated discrepancies. Leveraging new technology that most county assessors utilize will improve accuracy and efficiency, reducing the likelihood of appeals and disputes, which are costly both in time and revenue.

2. Standardize Rates and Policies: This bill will ensure tax rates and policies that will level the playing field.

3. Transparency and Accountability: Clear communication about how property taxes are calculated and allocated will build trust and compliance.

4. Community Engagement: Inclusive dialogue with stakeholders—including businesses and community organizations—is essential to crafting reforms that address diverse needs and priorities.

The time for non-residential property tax reform is now. I urge legislators to pass HB342 & SB527, which is a bill that is fair, transparent, and supportive of sustainable growth. Let’s make equitable property tax reform a cornerstone of our collective progress.

New Silverado is versatile

Second place finishers try hard to overcome obstacles in their way and so it is with the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado – a rugged pickup that can be outfitted with a plethora of configurations and engine choices to suit most budgets.

Silverado has been around for a quarter-century and sold 549,945 copies last year compared with Ram at 439,039 and Tundra at 159,528. Ford F150’s toppled them all with 765,649 sales. Easy to see why U.S. full size pickup truck sales are unequalled around the globe.

Trim levels are numerous starting with the base Work Truck, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, High Country and ZR2. Entry prices range from $37-$70

thousand with available options reaching six figures for the ZR2.

A variety of engines are available to suit your pocketbook and penchant for power. Entry level trucks come with a turbocharged four-cylinder (310hp). From there you can choose from a pair of V-8’s, a Duramax diesel 3.0-liter inline six (277 hp), 6.2-liter V8 with 420 ponies or you can chuck all of the above in favor of a gas-less EV.

Three bed lengths are available – 5’8” short bed, standard 6’6” and long bed at 8 feet. Each has rear bumper bed steps and a six-mode tailgate that collapses for easy access.

Our Crew LT Trail Boss tester was equipped with the big V8. It features a 2-inch lift kit, monotube shocks, large skid plates and Bridgestone Dueler all-terrain paws with 20-inch, high gloss black painted aluminum wheels.

A trailering package with hitch guidance will handle construction projects as well as tow trailers, boats and other toys. Towing capacity is 13,300 pounds, more than Ram 1500 but trailing F150s. Payload is 1,870 to 2,200 pounds.

With all this versatility, our tester was outfitted for performance, heavy off-road duty and gussied up with luxurious appointments throughout its cabin.

On open pavement, shifting the 10-speed automatic transmission was smooth with lots of torque when needed for downshifts. We found steering precise with little body roll. Brakes were strong. In highway travel, the Silverado absorbs most road imperfections.

Inside the fourth generation Crew Cab is a nice place to enjoy lengthy trips without tiring. Fill-ups will be more frequent with EPA combined 15 miles per gallon. With our sometimes-aggressive testing maneuvers, we recorded 12.4 mpg. Cabin noise is kept to a minimum unless you stomp on the gas pedal.

Whether heating or cooling, the Silverado system does so quickly. Numerous toggle switches line the center console controlling cabin environment, entertainment and navigation. A 13.4-inch center touchscreen makes adjustments simple while a driver mounted 12.3-inch digital screen monitors engine vitals.

Driver assist features are standard on upper trims and include emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning which was useful with its behemoth size, HD surround vision, rear cross traffic braking, blind spot monitors, available adaptive cruise control and perimeter lighting. Gross vehicle weight is 3½ ton.

The new Silverado is mostly a carryover from last year’s model. Cypress Gray and Riptide Blue Metallic are new colors.

Artesia girls look to knock off No.2 seed Gallup in state tournament

A look at the 4A -4 bracket for the 2025 Nusenda Credit Union Girls Basketball State Championships should be enough to make the Artesia Lady Bulldogs mad – maybe even furious enough to come out and knock off the No. 2 seeded Gallup Bengals (26-2 overall, 8-2 district) on Gallup’s home court in a first-round matchup at 6 p.m. Friday.

The Lady Bulldogs have several players returning from the team that went 22-7, won the District 4A -4 title, and lost to St. Pius X 61-41 in the New Mexico Activities Association semifinals last season.

So, yes, Artesia (10-16 overall, 2-4 district 4A-4) should be upset at being the No.15 seed in the tournament. In one year, the Lady Bulldogs did not forget how to play basketball. And they did not forget how to win.

Here are Artesia’s three keys to securing a victory

Artesia’s first-year coach, Candace Pollard, must let her team know this is a business trip. The Lady Bulldogs have played well on the road this season, winning four games. It is a five-hour, 40-minute bus ride to Gallup but the team should envision nothing but success while going into a hostile environment.

“I have been telling our team that winning a big playoff basketball game comes down to execution, composure and preparation,” Pollard said.

Shorten the game

Artesia needs to limit Gallup’s possessions. The Lady Bulldogs must attack the offensive board and score off second-chance opportunities. Artesia must stop Gallup’s running game. If the Lady Bengals get second and third shots, it will be a long game for Artesia.

Artesia cannot run with the Bengals. The Lady Bulldogs must pick their spots to run and attack the glass on both ends of the floor.

“Our defense and rebounding are key,” Pollard said. “We have to lock down their key scorers, contest every shot, and control the boards and limit their second-chance points and fast break opportunities.”

Artesia cannot turn the ball over

The Lady Bulldogs must protect the ball and avoid turnovers to have a chance to win. Gallup wants to speed up the tempo and make Artesia play faster than usual. Gallup uses its defense to generate its offense.

“We have to have great shot selection every time,” Pollard said. “Every single possession matters in this matchup. We have to take high-percentage shots, move the ball, and attack mismatches aggressively on both sides of the ball.”

Keep the score in the 40s

The game at Gallup will be sold out, with standing room only. The fans will be going crazy. Artesia must take the crowd out of the game and keep its composure when the Lady Bengals go on a run. There is a reason Gallup is 26-2 overall and the No.2 seed, but Artesia is Artesia and has played in games as big as this, if not bigger.

“We know that we are walking into a place that loves basketball,” Pollard said. “They will bring everything they’ve got to us. We must play together for four quarters and have each other’s backs. We must be prepared for a dogfight.”

Jon Green guilty in murder-for-hire plot

Jon Green guilty in murder-for-hire plot

Jon Green was found guilty Tuesday of hatching an unsuccessful plot to have his wife killed. The 12-member jury deliberated for about an hour before returning the verdict following a two-day trial in Eddy County District Court in Carlsbad.

Green was convicted on a single charge of solicitation to commit first-degree murder, a second-degree felony. He could face up to 15 years in prison

No date was set for sentencing.

Police said Green, who was serving time at the Eddy County Detention Center in 2023, paid cellmate Greg Markham’s $2,500 bail so that Markham could then kill Green’s wife Kim Lark, a local physician.

The plan, according to prosecutor Dianna Luce of the Fifth Judicial District Attorney’s Office, was for Markham to break into Lark’s home, wait in hiding for her to return from work and force her to overdose on fentanyl.

Minutes before the jury was called into the courtroom for Monday’s proceedings, District Judge David Finger upheld a defense motion to exclude any mention of Green’s past in Monaco, where he was convicted of starting a fire that killed two people. He was released in 2007 after serving 10 years in prison, later changing his name from Ted Maher to Jon Green before moving to Carlsbad.

Finger also agreed to exclude any mention of Green’s previous alias.

District Judge David Finger consults with attorneys, March 3, 2025 at the Eddy County Courthouse.

Green “unhappy” with wife he plotted to kill

During closing arguments on Tuesday, Luce said Green believed killing his wife would solve several of his legal and financial problems. The prosecutor described Markham as a “pawn” in Green’s plan, saying Markham took advantage of the situation to get out of jail and never went through with the murder.

She pointed to the reasons Green was in prison when he hatched the plan: dual convictions in 2023 for larceny, after he pleaded guilty to stealing Lark’s Ford Expedition and her dogs; and forgery, after police said he falsified multiple stolen checks in Lark’s name.

The prosecutor also said Green hoped to gain access to Lark’s retirement funds, cash in a life insurance policy and take ownership of her home.

“He is unhappy with Kim Lark,” Luce told the jury. “You have to take into account the totality that he stole the vehicle and the dogs and broke into her office. That’s why he was in there plotting.”

Luce also pointed to several phone calls Green made from jail to associates, including Jennifer Thomas, who the prosecution said transferred money from a Walmart Western Union in Redondo Beach, California, to another one in New Mexico so it could be used for Markham’s bail.

During one call, Luce said, Green used the phrase “grab ahold of her throat and squeeze,” which the prosecutor said alluded to Green trying to get “as much out of” Lark as he could in their pending divorce. Lark and Green’s marriage was dissolved in May 2023 but the settlement is still pending in Eddy County District Court.

In a police interview played for the jury, Green said he “just wanted his possessions” back.

“This is the same person who all he said he wants is his truck and his dog,” Luce said. “But he was in her Expedition driving away with her dogs.”

Luce also contended in her closing that Markham knew too many details about the home where Green wanted Markham to kill Lark – including the location of a safe – for the conversations between the inmates to be construed as merely “bragging,” as the defense argued.

In his closing argument for the defense, attorney Blake Dugger said Green bailed out his cellmate so Markham could save his own dogs that were at risk of being euthanized while he was locked up on a parole violation.

Markham, an admitted drug user who testified for the prosecution on Monday and was cross-examined on Tuesday, said he only agreed to the plot with Green so he could be released. But Dugger argued that Markham planned to extort money from Green, who the defense attorney said was vulnerable to such a ploy because of his “affinity” for animals.

Dugger said Markham’s story was inconsistent as to how the money was moved around, and how he was to kill Lark.

“Markham wanted to get out of jail so he tricked Jon Green to bail him out so he could save his dogs,” Dugger told the jury. “He got out of jail, he got immunity from his statements today. More of the story tends to come out as time goes by. That should give you pause.”

A ‘contentious divorce’

During testimony on Monday, Kim Lark described how she met Green at her medical practice when Green came to her office for an appointment.

She said they shared interests in dogs, skiing and outdoor recreation and started dating after six months. The couple were married in February 2020.

But things “went bad” after only a couple of years, Lark said. She filed for divorce on April 25, 2022, and Green moved out of their Eddy County home.

The next time she saw Green after filing for divorce, Lark said, was in June of 2022 when she saw him stealing her Ford Expedition with her three certified cadaver dogs inside. Aside from her medical practice, Lark helps with search and rescue missions in the region using the dogs, valued at $70,000 each.

That incident led to Green’s arrest in San Antonio and his later larceny conviction, along with the forgery charges – convictions he was serving time for when he allegedly plotted to have Lark killed.

Lark and Green were still legally married at that time, meaning Green could gain access to her finances if she was killed, Lark said,

Dugger asked if she was sure the threat was to “physically” take her life, suggesting it could have been a threat on her reputation.

“I was told someone would end my life physically,” Lark responded.

Greg Markham testifies at a trial, March 3, 2025 at the Eddy County Courthouse.

Markham testifies to murder plot

Greg Markham started his testimony by admitting he was convicted twice of drug possession and suffered from an addiction to methamphetamine. That’s why he was in jail, he said, when he met Green.

Markham’s testimony supported each point stressed by the prosecution: why Green wanted Lark dead, how Markham was supposed to kill her and how Green had several associates move money around to pay Markham’s bail and buy him a camper to stay in once he was released.

Prosecutors played recordings of phone calls between Green, Markham and others for the jury, saying the conversations showed how the plan came together.

Markham denied that he ever intended to go through with the killing, and said he just wanted to get out of jail.

“Never would I ever do that to another human being,” he said when asked about the plan to cause Lark to overdose on fentanyl. “They turn blue. They don’t breathe.”
