		<description><![CDATA[This post was originally posted on christiandevotions.us on November 24, 2013, however the Christian Devotions site was a victim of a cyber attack and they&#8217;ve had to rebuild. This breaks my heart &#8211; who attacks a devotional website? Sheesh! I&#8217;ve asked the site editor about resubmitting the original content. If that doesn&#8217;t happen, I&#8217;ll repost&#8230;]]></description>
