		<description><![CDATA[I am in a constant state of denying the inevitability of my own death. I constantly try to work more, or faster, or stronger, in order to gain some more of life.

		<description><![CDATA[In our Saturday night connection, we are studying the book Difficult Conversations. We decided that we wanted to pick up a text that would aid us in our personal lives, home lives, work lives and interactions with the world. With every page turn, I have imagined a specific time I have felt a certain way [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To borrow a phrase from my grandmother, "We gotta dance with the one who brung ya." Our actions are not in spite of God but because of God. The Creator who envisioned an implicate Order in perceived chaos yearns for me to dance with Deity, to mash potato with the Master, to electric slide with Elohim, to go-go with God, to moonwalk with the Maker and to lambada with the Lord.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Christians all over the world have the sign of the cross on their foreheads. This is one day of the Christian year that the visibility of the cross is worn prominently. Although the symbology of the cross made with ashes reminds the proselyte of their own temporality, their sorrow and their death. Taken an additional [...]]]></description>
