		<title>When the Wedding is Over &#8211; Thanks for Faithful Moms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With many minds still savoring the recent royal wedding in England and it being Mother's Day, I thought it appropriate to share the thoughts of a young mom whose wedding day is 10 years past. In this writing she is imagining sending a letter back in time to herself just before her wedding. She gave [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Earth-ster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The young monk made his way across the muddy courtyard. Despite his resolve and urgent manner he managed to admire the new daffodils out of the corner of his eye. Normally he'd pick a few for the supper table, but today the flowers would have to wait. Urgent matters pressed him forward. He made his [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Greatest Sporting Moment Ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post, ultimately is not about golf or sports. This post is about life and joy and resurrection, but I begin with sports. After morning basketball earlier this week a few of us guys were chatting. One of my friends asked if I would be following the Masters golf tournament this week. I told him [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Great Divorce II or For Whom Bell Tolls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What could wake me from my blog fog? The Twitter-rebellion in Egypt? No. Devastation in Christchurch  New Zeeland? No. Protests in Wisconsin? No. Cruise missle-ing Libya?  Almost, but not quite. It had to be something as big as Rob Bell and his new book Love Wins to reinvigorate my keyboard. I've been asked a lot [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shalom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For my pending ordination I have written my confession of faith. It is not in final form but is probably near enough to post here. This is not a personal testimony of conversion but a statement of belief. I welcome questions and comments. The true story of our existence begins with the holy, eternal, uncreated, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Super Dreams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Advertisers do not sell us products. They sell us stories that we want to live in. Consequently, commercials tell us a lot about what you and I dream about, and what we wish our lives were like. This makes the Super Bowl commercial binge an important window into the worldview that dominates our communities. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dreamers Unite</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The two monks moved in tandem across the mall. They never spoke or even looked the other's way. Though fifty yards apart, they moved as if tethered together like synchronized swimmers. Their training made communication unnecessary. Their mission made failure unthinkable. Brown cowled monk's robes made them one with the darkness as they masterfully moved [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;&#8230;.all persons held as slaves are, and henceforth shall be free.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[God uses certain people at particular moments to do extraordinary and courageous things whose ramifications cannot be seen at that time. Abraham Lincoln is one of those people. On January 1, 1863 the Emancipation Proclamation freeing all slaves in the United States took effect. The scars of slavery are still evident, however, on this day [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merry Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some years ago I heard a person observe after a day of Christmas shopping that nobody says Merry Christmas anymore. For the next few days I made an effort to observe if this was true, and in my observation it was. I won't speculate too much on why this is true except to say that [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Christmas Reformation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The disgruntled monk scurried across the snow covered courtyard.  A biting wind cut sideways across his path causing him to pull his cowl tighter around his head. His face revealed a holy resolve to reach his destination. He winced as he peered through the stinging snow to confirm his course. Within minutes he carefully but [...]]]></description>
