		<title>Happy Mother&#8217;s Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Later on, we&#8217;ll be talking about how Jesus changes lives, but I had to stop and remember the importance of today.  If you haven&#8217;t done so already, call your mother!
I recently rediscovered a poem by one-time U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins entitled &#8220;The Lanyard&#8221;.  The narrator of the poem remembers making a lanyard [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aliens In America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a sad time of year for me.  Sure, the weather is getting warmer.  Summer is just around the corner.  Soon we will be going to the beach, Busch Gardens, Camp Idlewild (Woohoo!) and Tides games.  And sure, the days have gotten longer, which means we can play outside with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Carrier, Politics, and Screwtape</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was on a roll and then I quit posting.  Why don’t we get this thing going again with some miscellaneous items?
Did anyone else watch Carrier?  I gave you a heads up about it last month.  If you missed it you can watch a lot of clips at the website.  A [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turn Around</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m kind of a grammar geek.  I was that weird kid in grade school who loved diagramming sentences.  There&#8217;s just something comforting about figuring out how each word fits into the sentence and charting it accordingly.  It&#8217;s the only way I can connect with those of you who like to look at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tell Your Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Good morning!  Rachel and the kids and I are out of town today.  We&#8217;re at Keith and Deborah&#8217;s farm with the rest of Rachel&#8217;s family.  I&#8217;m really glad to be taking a weekend off and spending it with my family, but I will also miss being with my church family.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Connections Sunday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. (Ephesians 4:16)
Just before Ruth Ann was born, Rachel and I took a two-day trip to DC just to get away.  As luck would have it, &#8220;Bodies: The Exhibition&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>American Idol Goes to Church</title>
		<description><![CDATA[American Idol rarely surprises me anymore.  I’ve now watched 3 seasons in their entirety (guilty pleasure, anyone?) and they’ve all basically followed the same formula.  But this week’s episodes managed to provide a double shock.  If you’re not a watcher of the show, the first surprise probably won’t be of interest to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Be Fruitful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.&#8221; (John 15:5)
So how does Jesus change lives?  I hope to get a glimpse of it in the coming weeks.  We will be following [...]]]></description>
