		<title>breathing stillness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every Sunday at the Pursuit Project 2 junior high students sit in silence for 10 minutes learning to hear God.  Sometimes we hear God speak, sometimes we don&#8217;t.  I wanted to take time today and invite you, as you read this, to join us in the experience of silence.
Turn your phone on silent.

		<title>the power of &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is power? I get the impression from history, from government, from news and pop culture that power is the ability to control, infuence, or manipulate people to get the end result that you want. It seems to have to do with being in charge, being the top dog, the go-to person, the final say, [...]]]></description>

		<title>for our enemies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Loving is easy when we feel good.  But when about when we don&#8217;t?  What about when we have been stabbed in the back?  What about when our hearts have been ripped out?  How do we love in that context?  How do we even forgive, which, if we are honest, must come before we are really [...]]]></description>

		<title>tears of God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s raining outside.  My friend David told me that his grandmother use to say that it rained because God was crying.  We made a joke about wishing people would be repentant of their sin causing God to cry every time that it rained.  I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s why God is crying today.
They tell us to [...]]]></description>

		<title>the struggle between Christianity and Capitalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend David King wrote a little blog on facebook account* a little while ago that I found incredibly challenging.  I am going to quote the entirety of it below.
It&#8217;s a bit long, but I think it&#8217;s worth the read.
The greater question that provides the framework behind the blog is, &#8221;how do we function as followers of Jesus [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s the point?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend Michelle and I had an opportunity to take a day trip to a part of the state where poverty was significantly more visible.  As we drove through town we saw run down apartment complexes and trailer park after trailer park.  It brought to my mind memories of my childhood is rural western [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
So here it is.  Michelle and I have moved.  We handed in our keys to our apartment at the Bluffs yesterday.  We are no loner residents of Casino Road, or, in the vernacular, &#8220;the hood&#8221;.
We have been asked a lot of questions over the past month since we decided we were going to move, mostly [...]]]></description>

		<title>how far will you go?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[God sent the prophet Nathan to David, king over Israel, &#8220;a man after God&#8217;s own heart&#8221; to proclaim this message:
&#8220;Thus says the LORD, the God of ISrael: I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul; I gave you your master&#8217;s house, and your master&#8217;s wives into  your bosom, [...]]]></description>

		<title>a walk through the hills</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently led through a devotional of Psalm 121 that really spoke to me.  It was an encouragement and a reminder that I needed.  I thought this morning that I would share that with you.
&#8220;I lift up my eyes to the hills &#8211; from where does my help come?
My help comes from the LORD, [...]]]></description>
