		<description><![CDATA[IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and [...]]]></description>

		<title>ATTENTION ALL PARENTS OF YOUNG AND OLD KIDS&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[READ Mike Cope&#8217;s blog post.  Live it.  I myself am sick of so many parents not taking up the mantle of a real parent and choosing the easy way out of trying to be &#8220;cool.&#8221;

		<title>My Handset Doth Define Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have an invisible shield.  It is 3&#8243; by 4&#8243;.  It has completely transformed everything including how I watch a movie.  It modifies my outlook on the world.  I speak of course of my mobile phone.  See if any of this fits you:

You cannot watch a movie at home or in a theater without at [...]]]></description>

		<title>The REAL Healthcare Need</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most are sick to death of hearing the healthcare debate.  I have friends on both sides of this fence, and to be clear, I am quite opinionated on it; but will NOT share my opinion here. I will, rather, look at one significant fact about which we have heard little.
Forget the mandates.  Forget the abortion issue.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Urgent Messages and Good Youth Ministry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you watch LOST, then you will easily remember what follows.  If you do not, let me give you the paragraph catch-up.  
Plane crashes.  Survivors on remote Island.  Island strange.  Secret communities.  Surprise &#8220;stations,&#8221; or evidence of high technology.  In the clip to follow, you will see two people -- Desmond, the love-forlorn hero desperately [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Angel in the Queens Mid-Town Tunnel?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was in complete New York mode.  I was headed out, trying to get to LaGuardia on the hope of catching an earlier flight.  I was out the door of the hotel at the time I was hoping to be, and to my benefit, the stoplight at 8th and 40th was red.  Behold a line [...]]]></description>

		<title>Put the Shepherds Out to Pasture (for their own good)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are those churches that seem to clip along at a nice pace.  They grow, they seem strong, and 10 or 15 years later they seem to crash and burn.  Often, we wonder what happened.  We use words like &#8220;split&#8221; or &#8220;disagreements.&#8221;  We wonder who got mad over what, who left and why.
I would submit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Musings from The Price is Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I grew up watching &#8220;The Price is Right.&#8221;  Or, should I say the &#8220;real&#8221; Price is Right with Bob Barker asking us to spay and neuter our pets. 
I&#8217;m sitting in a car dealer waiting room waiting for a couple of things to be taken care of on my daughter&#8217;s car, and the new version of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Gratuitous New Year Focus Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is hard not to be a bit introspective at the start of a new year.  I guess that is why everyone talks about what they are doing as a resolution or a focus for the year&#8230;at least for the first two weeks of any year. 
For the last two years, I have worked on my body.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>WOW &#8211; 2010 already?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm&#8230; no post since September??
Well, let&#8217;s say it&#8217;s been a bit hectic.  Perhaps I&#8217;ll get back to my every-other-week mode in 2010.
Interestingly enough, I have been disabled on Facebook because my account was hacked and used as part of an email-for-money scam.  Let us all rise up and wish that such cyber-punks will be caught, [...]]]></description>
