		<description><![CDATA[This post. It&#8217;s not like my usual posts. I can&#8217;t seem to make the sentence form paragraphs, and paragraphs form thoughts, but I&#8217;ll try my best. Let&#8217;s say you have a scenario going on in the living room where all four (or five or eighty-seven) of your family members are happily getting along. Life is&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I sit here in my car before Wednesday night services, listening to birds sing from the pines, and We Are Messengers sing from the speakers. I type with one hand, because I broke the other wrist in two places this weekend. Fun times at Casa de Sipps. All weekend long, I waited for the miraculous&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[September has been lovely, but not long enough. In my quest for contentment, peace, and closeness to Jesus, I embarked on a month of rest. #SabbathSeptember. Limited social media. Holding friends and kids and spouses closer. No to time squashers and yes to snuggles and silly sleepovers. But September&#8217;s nearly over and I feel I&#8217;ve&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no secret that I talk to God. I&#8217;ve told you that before.  Over the past two years, I&#8217;ve done a whole lot of talking and praying, seeking and asking. When we first moved from our home, we did so out of necessity. The contract job I held was ending, and there were no jobs&#8230;]]></description>

That &#8220;power word&#8221; that is supposed to be your focus word to drive all of your pretty-much-everything for the coming year. Most folks who choose power words tell me they&#8217;re chosen sometime around New Year, but like resolutions, are often left on the side&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of the conversations we&#8217;ve had in our house today involved learning about veterans, the different branches of the military, and a reminder about the difference between Veteran&#8217;s Day and Memorial Day. &#8220;Do we still have wars?&#8221; &#8220;Yes, we do.&#8221; &#8220;If there are still wars that we are involved in, why do we get to&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you ask the hubs what things Karen doesn&#8217;t do, he&#8217;d probably tell you nothing. Wait, I take that back. He&#8217;ll tell you I don&#8217;t vacuum. And he&#8217;d be right; I don&#8217;t vacuum. But I meant career-wise, life&#8217;s-purpose-wise, use-all-your-talents-and-gifts-wise. The other day he made some crazy comment while we were discussing something else. It went&#8230;]]></description>

I was minding my own business, all set to go out on a girls&#8217; night out to see Magic Mike on the big screen. I&#8217;ll be the first to admit it. I&#8217;ve had my eye on Channing Tatum ever since I saw him in&#8230;]]></description>
