		<description><![CDATA[The Blind Side was an interesting movie for me.  I am typically not much of a movie reviewer or critic because I watch a movie to be entertained.  I notice when a movie has an excellent message and love to use movie portrayals as teaching points, but that is usually the end of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thoroughly enjoyed reading this easy-to-read book about the “Our Father” or Avinu prayer – the Lord’s Prayer as it is often called. The authors do an excellent job of weaving together story and teaching in a way that compels you to read to the end. 
I thought I had a good general knowledge of [...]]]></description>

It is so easy, as a follower of Christ, to be glad that you don&#8217;t sin &#8220;in big ways.&#8221;  You know the song and dance we sing to ourselves, like the Pharisee praying at the temple, &#8220;Oh Lord, I&#8217;m so glad I don&#8217;t struggle [...]]]></description>
