		<description><![CDATA[We decided that to solve the problem, we wouldn't stick with "church as usual," but we would employ a little divergent thinking to come up with a different path.  So, here's what we're planing to do.  Instead of trying to find a facility where we can do everything we feel necessary in one location, we're going to come at it from two different angles.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friend Robin pointed me to another friend's blog recently.   Chris Yambar is an absolute riot to hang around, and always keeps you laughing, but he is also one of those guys that challenges and convicts you just by being who he is.  I definitely think it's worth your time to take a few minutes to read his latest blog post.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ This morning my boys were running and jumping and diving into every little bit of snow they could find.  They let their imaginations run wild and alternated between being astronauts in space, and their favorite Star Wars characters.  They had an amazing time and never once did they worry about what the neighbors were thinking about them.  I think Jesus was a lot like that as well. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm not sure if this is okay to say or not, but I really don't like watching American Idol.  I don't mind watching the last few episodes of the season, you know the part where everyone left can actually sing on key, but I can't stand watching the auditions at the beginning of the season.  I know that a lot of people enjoy watching the tone deaf people doing their best impersonation of a alley cat in heat trying desperately to impress the judges, but it just hurts my ears too much.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having a relationship with a God like this requires that I am willing and prepared to move, serve, minister, care, comfort, challenge, and reconcile with him as he is going about these things himself.  My relationship with this Jesus is not static, rather it is a wild, dynamic, flowing experience of the action and activity of God himself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the messages the church in general seems to communicate clearly is that we should never doubt our faith, or especially God.  Being honest with your pastor about the doubts you're having often makes the as squeamish as a parent who's toddler just asked them where babies come from.   Often you end up getting pat answers about trusting God, and the need for faith.   The problem is the answers don't really deal with the doubt, and they certainly don't make us feel any better, so what do we do?]]></description>

I think Jesus laughed when people farted.   It's funny!   Even grown-up, mature business men will laugh when someone farts in the men's washroom.  I think Jesus laughed at farts.]]></description>

I mean, have you ever had a friend that was so close that you didn't even have to talk when you were together?

		<description><![CDATA[The dictionary says that being cynical is defined as being "bitterly or sneeringly distrustful, contemptuous, or pessimistic."  I used to think that there wasn't really anything that wrong with being cynical, in fact I almost felt as if it was a good thing.  I saw myself as being a realist; someone who objectively analyses the world around them.    After thinking about what my friend had to say, I think I'm getting a little cynical about being cynical.  I'm starting to get distrustful and pessimistic about the benefits of cynicism.  I think it's time for a change.]]></description>
