		<title>Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you missed the Saddleback Civil Forum on Saturday night, you need to to watch.  Barack Obama and John McCain each sat down with Rick Warren (The Purpose Driven Life) for one hour and were asked an identical set of questions.
Then something amazing happened.  He actually let them answer.  No arguments.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>XX: A Christian at Twenty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twenty years ago today I made a decision that radically shifted my entire existence.
The butterfly effect from this one decision saved my life then and continues to give me purpose today.  It has affected everything from my voting record to my radio presets. It has dominated major decisions like college, friendships and how I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Falling Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Someone I know failed in a very public way this week.  The story is a headline on national news right now and will probably be in the morning paper.
I fail every day.   I lose my temper.  I try to make people think I&#8217;m better than I really am.  I look [...]]]></description>

		<title>Angels &#038; Magnets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;m upstairs last night playing superheroes with my son.
As the heroes waged a never ending battle atop a tower of Legos, Magneto faces off against Angel.  But Magneto uses his powers and make Angel fly off in a different direction.
A four-year-old eyebrow raises in disapproval. &#8220;Angel&#8217;s not made of metal.&#8221;
He was right.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Say Thanks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever seen a soldier out in public and wanted say thanks, but felt like an idiot walking up to a stranger?  The Gratitude Campaign has a solution for it.  Just do the simple sign for &#8220;Thank You&#8221; whenever you pass by a soldier.
BTW, it also works as a quick way to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Darkness Falls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[April 24th, 1988. A young man steps forward in an altar call, making the decision to follow Jesus. But this was not his first encounter with the supernatural.
Three years earlier, the world as I knew it had been ripped apart when the unthinkable happened. Mom sat us down and announced that Dad was going to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Silverstone, PETA and the Power of Ads that Never Run</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So what was Alicia Silverstone doing nude in a PETA ad they knew would never get to air? Creating a buzz, that&#8217;s what.
After reaching the pinnacle of her acting abilities in Batman &#038; Robin, Alicia&#8217;s career came to a screeching halt. Now she&#8217;s 30 and off the radar.  What&#8217;s a girl to do?  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Superheroes Never Come from the Deep South</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Holy Lack of Inclusion, Batman!
In my exhaustive research of superhero literature (ability to read comic books), I noticed that there are virtually no masked vigilantes from south of the Mason-Dixon line.  There&#8217;s plenty of crime in the South.  Wouldn&#8217;t there naturally be individuals infused with preternatural powers who would stand up to injustice? [...]]]></description>
