It is not agreeing with the numbers in the throng who believe there is always more work at the end of their day, or more month at the end of their budget, or more need at the end of their ability to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Facts are clear regarding the case of Jesus’ resurrection. The chief priests and the Pharisees were determined that Jesus was going to stay in his grave. According to Matthew 27:64, they told Pilate of their concern that Christ’s disciples would “go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2012. Wow, in some ways it is hard to believe we are all still around to see this change of the calendar! But, God’s grace has been sufficient with his mercies that never come to an end (Lamentations 3:22), and we are still pushing on. However, many seemed to be already feeling “behind” as the [...]]]></description>

It is especially humorous to me as I know that it was the first thing in my mind—again today—as I sat [...]]]></description>

They looked up, and one nudged the other and said, “You couldn’t get me up in one of those things for a million dollars.” That’s how some people are about change, too. Granted, if we see change for the sake of change [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a few days ago (if you are reading this in the first few days of June, 2011) many people had their worldview turned upside down. They had followed a false prophet by the name of Harold Camping who said Jesus would rapture “true believers” (Camping doesn’t like the word “church”) out of the world [...]]]></description>

Recently I was reading a certain on-line encyclopedia and it said, “[Memorial Day has] become a long weekend increasingly devoted to shopping, family get-togethers, fireworks, trips to the beach, and national media events such as the Indianapolis 500 auto race, held [...]]]></description>

The home was quiet, and it had neither television nor telephone. In fact, it did not even have a radio although a CD player was provided along with several beautiful and relaxing collections [...]]]></description>
