		<title>Prayers for my Keiki</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here's a super cool tool you can use to pray for your child.  It's a simple prayer card with a short prayer and scripture passage you can pray over your child.

There's a back side too.

		<description><![CDATA[(The Goal of Parenting, part 3)
Julie is really good about doing a breakfast devotional with the boys.  She reads from a daily devotional and then asks them questions and gets them to respond.
Today I did the devotional, and guess what it was about?  Yep, sin.
So, how do you talk to kids about sin?  (Go here [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Goal of Parenting, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Throughout GBCK's parenting series we've been asking ourselves, What is it the goal of parenting?  The answer, based on Deuteronomy 6:5, is to teach our children to love God.
But how do you teach them to love God?  Isn't teaching best done by a professional?  How can I teach my child about loving God when I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Goal of Parenting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the course of our parenting series at GBCK there's been an underlying question we've been asking ourselves: what's the goal of parenting?
After some reflection I realized that one of my "goals" for my three sons is that they are liked.  I want them to have friends, I want them to fit in.  While I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bumped into some friends this morning at Starbucks that I haven't seen in a while.  Great to catch up and God is doing some pretty neat stuff in their lives.  One thing that was said over the conversation is we are not in control of things, but God orchestrates things.
Reminded me of something I recently [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stairway to Heaven</title>
		<description><![CDATA["God does not simply create the gift (The Gospel) and offer it to us, if we will only climb the stairway to heaven to get it; he brings it down to us, uncurls our ungrateful fingers, and places it in our hands." p. 108, The Gospel-Driven Life, Horton

		<title>Costly Grace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[God's grace is free but it wasn't cheap.  It's freely given to those who have faith in Jesus, but it cost God everything.  I cheapen grace when I think it's a license to sin.  "I can do whatever I want, God will forgive me."  That's cheap grace.  I also cheapen grace when I think grace [...]]]></description>
