		<title>Craig Ferguson&#8217;s Monologue on Alcoholism (and more)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember seeing this on the original air date of February 20, 2007; but had forgotten about it until a conversation yesterday about Craig Ferguson prompted me to look it up on YouTube. I am still astounded at what is a very impressive monologue&#8211;he says a lot of counter-intuitive stuff there, not the least about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leithart, SJC Ruling and a Crucial Tangential Relation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are not familiar with the current hoo-hahs within the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), then for minimum context you will want to read Peter Leithart’s letter to Presbytery following the 2007 General Assembly, Rob Rayburn&#8217;s supplemental brief to the NW Presbytery Standing Judicial Commission (SJC) regarding their decision and the eventual final ruling [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is a &#8220;Session?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I was getting ready to tweet that I was headed to a Session meeting tonight, I was reminded at how foreign that term sounds to folks outside of the church (or even beyond Presbyterian and reformed circles). In fact, I often tell people that I am going to an elders&#8217; meeting, or simply something [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[sen·tence n. 1. A grammatical unit that is syntactically independent and has a subject that is expressed or, as in imperative sentences, understood and a predicate that contains at least one finite verb.

		<title>What is So Good About &#8216;Good Friday,&#8217; Anyway?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following is a conversation that my wife had with our five year old daughter, which she subsequently posted on Facebook. Yesterday I was talking to the kids about Good Friday and Isabel said it should be called Sad Friday. She thought about it a minute and said that it is Happy Friday because Jesus [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is &#8216;Maundy&#8217; Thursday, Anyway?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was telling some of my co-workers about our church&#8217;s upcoming Maundy Thursday service. Typically, our church celebrates the Passion Week with a Maundy Thursday fellowship dinner and communion service; a Good Friday service of confession; and then regular Easter Sunday services (of which most are familiar). As one of the few Presbyterians around [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;re gonna change the world!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the spirit of my post, &#8220;Not by the Power of Man,&#8221; a friend recommended that I search YouTube for &#8220;kids sing obama&#8221; &#8212; be prepared to wonder: should I cry, be terrified, be angry, hunker down in the comfort and rest of God&#8217;s good grip, laugh &#8230; other? Interestingly, it took me several minutes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wouldn&#8217;t it be cool if Jesus HAD risen from the dead?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gary Haugen (International Justice Mission) has just published a new book titled, Just Courage: God&#8217;s Great Expedition for the Restless Christian. While I do not have a copy (nor plan to), you can click the &#8220;Search Inside&#8221; link and read an excerpt on Amazon (note: *low* priority on wish list).

		<title>Not by the Power of Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Between the constant bombardment by the purveyors of programs designed to &#8220;grow your church&#8221; and my continual failure to grasp the Gospel, it is repentantly refreshing to come across a quote—one that could have been written yesterday (when in fact, it was more like yesteryear)—that reminds me that the good works the Lord are accomplished [...]]]></description>
