		<description><![CDATA[I’m generally a pretty healthy guy.  I don’t always eat perfectly or exercise much, but God has blessed me with a strong immune system I suppose.  I rarely catch the cold or flu that “everyone is getting” in spite of the exposure. But once in a rare while, some little malady will sneak in, and [...]]]></description>

Not just watch a practice, but discuss the daily habits of their very best.  You generally will [...]]]></description>

The weight of his feeling that he wasn’t able to be the father and husband he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ground-breaking, pioneering, original, new, inventive, modern are all words from my handy little Word program Thesaurus that can be used for “innovative”.  There are striking contrasts between the words “innovative” and “Thesaurus” which sounds more like an extinct dinosaur than a book. Too often innovation is as rare as the dinosaurs, and like the dinosaurs [...]]]></description>

1 Cor. 15:33 &#8230;&#8221;Bad company corrupts good character.&#8221; Paul’s Holy Spirit inspired way to warn the believers to not let the resurrection rejecters “rub off on them.”  A time honored principle most often used to ward us away from that which we need to be wary of its influence.
But isn’t that really what [...]]]></description>

You’d think that the proximity alone would hold me accountable for going, considering that I actually can’t leave my home without passing it.

Jokes about preachers reporting attendance figures (“We had 1,000 people there, evangelistically speaking…”) and repeating stories as personal experiences are too common. I heard about a pastor telling a wild story, and [...]]]></description>
