		<title>Coffee-Stained Serenity Prayer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I shared in my last post, I have been praying and meditating on the original &#8220;long form&#8221; of the Serenity Prayer for a few days now.  Today I had an experience with this prayer that I just had to share.  I actually printed it out and brought it to share with some friends of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rule of Prayer for Lent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
God has been gently, but clearly, speaking to me about my need to establish a &#8220;rule of life&#8221; &#8211; a daily structure of prayer, reading His Word, and meditation in Him.  As some have put it, I need to stop trying to live a holy life and start training to live a holy life.  As [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The world class athletes stand on wobbly legs, sweating profusely and wondering when this nightmare drill will end.  Some are doubled over at the goal line, retching, coughing, sputtering, and moaning.  Others have their bodies steeled and upright, but their minds are reeling.  Never in their lives have they experienced this kind of suffering.

		<title>Your Chance to Personally Witness&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You won&#8217;t find a better deal for Super Bowl tickets, unless you happen to be Drew Brees&#8217; cousin.  And the organization offering the raffle is devoted to blessing folks in a tough place through efforts that will likely never receive any great recognition (this side of Heaven).  I personally know the head of this organization, [...]]]></description>

Emotional tug-of-war can be a frustrating, draining exercise that diverts our energy from positive pursuits and relationship-building activity into a muddy pit [...]]]></description>
