		<description><![CDATA[If you have ever been in a personal conversation with me, and have asked me about my church, you have probably found yourself 10, 20, or 30 minutes later wondering when I&#8217;m going to shut up. I&#8217;m the same way when I start talking about my children&#8217;s school (right, Ashley?), but I&#8217;ll save that for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes life lands us in a situation which hides God from our view. Or perhaps we aren&#8217;t looking in the right place. Either way, when we find ourselves asking Why, there is a part of us that is really asking Where. Where are you, God?
I have a few friends who are going through such painful [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This will be a long post. Consider yourself warned.  
I promised several people that I would share the details and images from my baptism last September. Our church was kind enough to send me a video on DVD. So, a couple of weeks ago, I sat down at my computer to finally figure out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My son, who will turn 7 in a matter of weeks, amazes me. Of course he does. He&#8217;s my son. But it&#8217;s more than that. He has such a heart for God. Truly I can say that his faith, his insight, has been such an enlightening source of inspiration in my own walk. So often, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know I&#8217;m not very unique when I say this is my favorite time of year. I&#8217;ve always been moved by the magic of Christmas. The childhood memories of twinkling lights, baking cookies with my mom, finding the perfect tree at the cut-your-own farm, the infusion of pine and cinnamon through our home. And of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Early in my Christian walk, I found I had to learn how to pray. Praying for the big stuff came easy &#8230; cancer, world peace, natural disaster victims. It was natural and uncomplicated to pray for those things. Learning to turn to God for the small things is more difficult. Why should I bother Him [...]]]></description>
