		<description><![CDATA[My kids love a good story. They hunker down in our bed and get all sorts of excited. They lurk in the covers. And every day hundreds of you stop by this site and lurk. Waiting for a good story or an interesting takeaway. You&#8217;ve made this a destination in your day. And I&#8217;m honored. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In order to combat the onslaught of self-narcissistic gluttony that constantly assaults those living in these great United States, we talk to our kids often about children who live in the rest of the world without the comforts and blessings we have. When we tuck our kids in at night we pray for children without [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, my friend Jason Clement was watching TV late at night when he randomly checked his email on his iPhone. Seeing iTunes had sent him a receipt for resent purchases that he couldn&#8217;t quite recall buying, he skimmed the message. &#8220;$45?&#8221; he said, looking bewildered, as it wasn&#8217;t just the price tag [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I arrived at church last night wearing a costume. After landing in DC and connecting to &#8220;Sara-cruise&#8221; (as the flight attendant kept pronouncing it), we made great time from the airport and I was able to catch the last few minutes of New Life&#8217;s annual Harvest Party. Always an epic event. My children hadn&#8217;t seen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Luik and I spent the morning making paper airplanes together, and flying them across the green room. (Yes, most all our living spaces are named for the colors we&#8217;ve painted them). I honestly hadn&#8217;t made a paper airplane in years. Many years. But I remember making hundreds of them in grade school. My buddies and [...]]]></description>

What&#8217;s your first thought? OK. And your second? Ah, see, there it is. &#8220;Me.&#8221; Somehow, &#8220;I&#8221; enter the thought process much more quickly than I&#8217;d like [...]]]></description>

But before writing on the subject of family &#8211; a fitting theme &#8211; I want to wish my father, [...]]]></description>

So she chilled on the sail-hammock while Eva, Luik, and Judah devoured nearly an entire bag of marshmallows over a campfire in the back yard. [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve canceled Wednesday night church services two weeks in a row, and Eva now has a working knowledge of seeing school cancelations online. I woke up today to even more snow and [...]]]></description>
