		<title>The Supper Bowl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, you read that correctly. Supper, not Super&#8230; implying the great competition of eating. A friend made typo on her Facebook post about the Super Bowl and I couldn’t help but think of a comment my husband often makes – that he views eating as hobby and sport. We love God’s sense of humor in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ironic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love situational irony.  Something about the incongruence and unexpected makes me laugh.  Some recent (and not so recent) examples in my life: Kids in Sunday school were blurting out verses about self control, uncontrollably.   A friend suggested that I go to new ice cream shop to work on writing my book proposal. (It’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How many of us like to think that we created the problems we’re having?  I don’t.  But, if I’m truly honest with myself, I’d have to admit that I’m currently living with the consequences of some bad choices.  Yep, I created the very thing that’s causing me stress right now.  And yes, I call on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Which Words? (Part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love God’s timing.  After posting Part 1 of Which Words?, our pastor preached on the importance of choosing our words.  And, as I subbed for my daughter’s Sunday school class that same morning, I heard another review about the power of words.  I’m surrounded by messages about words. God clearly wants me to get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Which Words?  (Part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Words have hurt me many times over the years – careless words that have stuck with me.  No matter how hard I’ve tried to extract them from my mind, they seem to escape from the dark, dusty corners during times of doubt. As a young child, I was picked on for my red hair, abundance [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finding Rest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you ever find yourself wishing that life were easier?  I do.  Quite often, actually.  I even shared my dismay and unrest with my husband a few months ago.  Unfortunately, I crossed the line into the land of complaining.  Of course, my husband in an empathic, nurturing way (ahem) blurted out, “Do you think life’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcoming the New Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We seemed to encounter an unusual amount of broken stuff around Christmastime this year.  The vacuum broke at precisely the same time we adopted a dog. Then, the new vacuum had a broken piece on it.  A car charger broke.  A toy broke.  A snow globe broke. A watch broke. Of course I started thinking [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Gift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am humbled today as I think about the birth of Jesus.  He arrived in a stable surrounded by the sounds and smells of animals.  In a city that was bustling with crowds and activity, no one made room for Him elsewhere.  Yet, He came anyway.  The same is true today.  He’s here in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gearing up with God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Resurrected from the crevices of the garage, my husband breathed life back into my bike with a hefty dusting and an air pump.  Suffering from a knee injury, I needed another method to continue my training for an upcoming event.  And so, my old, decrepit bike seemed like the best candidate for a non-weight bearing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Assumptions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My daughter broke the silence in the car as she commented, “That must be a grandparent car in front of us.” “Why?” I inquired. “Because it looks like they’ve had it a very long time and it’s moving really slow,” she replied. Although she was using age appropriate reasoning and logic, I explained that there [...]]]></description>
