		<description><![CDATA[Here's quick recap of GBCK's Christmas Conspiracy series that looked at four keys to keeping the true meaning of Christmas alive.
1. Remember the Reason:  It all starts with Jesus; no Jesus, no Christmas.  Remembering the birth of Jesus isn't merely a historical exercise.  It's remembering that the King of the Universe radically broke into humanity [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We're breaking with tradition this year.  Usually we open gifts on Christmas day, but today we are allowing the boys to open one gift today (Christmas Eve).
However, the gifts they will open are symbolic gifts; they are gifts that symbolize a character trait that's developed in their lives over the last year.  Julie and I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read a great quote this morning: "The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak." ~ Hans Hofmann.
What a great reminder, especially during the Christmas season when everything gets so cluttered.  If we want the true message of Christmas to speak loud and clear in our lives we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night I had a great dinner with some friends.  What made it a good time wasn't the food, it was the laughter.  I think we laughed the whole time.  Some say laughter is the best medicine, and science is starting to prove this.  Laughter is said to lower blood pressure and increase circulation.  Laughter [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a thought this morning about God's will, here it is:  Knowing God's will is more about education than revelation.  Reading from Ps. 143:10, David requests of God, "Teach me to do your will..."  This jumped out at me because I often ask God to show me his will.  But David asks God to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great first day of Catalyst West Coast.  Erwin McManus' opening session on "third spaces" was inspiring and challenging.  McManus divides one's relational life into three spaces: 1st space is where people are like you, you are the norm.  The church is often a 1st space where no aliens or outsiders are allowed; 2nd space is [...]]]></description>
