		<title>Boundless Compassion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been a long time since I have read a book that impacted me more than this one. In places I laughed out loud reading this book in a room by myself. In other places I cried at the challenges some kids have to face just because of where they were born. The book [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learning to Live in the Father&#8217;s Generosity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was invited to join Cliff Ravenscraft on his Encouraging Others In Christ Podcast, asking the question, &#8220;Is God Bigger Than Your Bank Account?&#8221; He wanted to respond to a paragraph in an email I sent about learning to live inside Father&#8217;s provision instead of the mistaken notion that we provide for ourselves.

		<title>Living In the Moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I enjoy about having a new book out there is that it shifts the conversation a bit. I love talking about living loved and why there might be better ways to do church than to fit it into one of the models so prevalent today. But now I&#8217;m finding through A [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review:  Hometown Prophet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I should have known better. In order to preview this book, Hometown Prophet by Jeff Fulmer, I had to promise to write a review on my blog within 30 days.

What I love most about this season is when all the preparations are finally done and time slows down so we can simply relax and enjoy each other. Grandchildren make that even more special.

		<title>Some Parenting Perspective</title>

		<title>An Amazing Invitation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My dad used to say that most people only get enough of God to be miserable. The longer I live, the more I am convinced he’s right.

		<title>The Parables of Matthew 25</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Matthew&#8217;s twenty-fifth chapter, Jesus tells three of his parables that are most often used by those who drive the performance treadmill to make people work harder to try and earn God&#8217;s favor. And, not surprisingly they are some the enemy uses in his accusations that we may not be &#8220;doing enough&#8221; for God. But [...]]]></description>
