		<description><![CDATA[Sure, he was swallowed by a whale, or at the very least a great big fish. And yes, I know, that after that he was vomited up on the beach by that same fish. Before that, it was the act of throwing him overboard that caused a great storm to cease. And of course, his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All Scott ever wanted was bigger feet…or at least the appearance of them.
Scott was a resident at the youth treatment facility I worked at and was definitely different than the other boys. He had sparse bits of hair. He was hard to understand with his slurred speech. He had a very poor complexion, to put [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a film with many poignant, moving scenes, there is one that stands out for me among them. The film is The Shawshank Redemption. The scene is a prison yard where every inmate is standing still as the sounds from a record player somewhere inside are echoing the operatic delivery of a feminine soprano. The [...]]]></description>

It was Memorial Day weekend of 2000 and I, along with 40,000 others, had dedicated myself to a weekend of worship, prayer, fasting and learning at Shelby Farms in Memphis, Tennessee. The event was called OneDay and it was easily the spiritual highlight of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Certainty is the place you stop when you&#8217;re tired of thinking.&#8221;
I loved this quote when I first stumbled across it. I guess I have always had a problem with people who are so firm on what they perceive as the correct worldview, as if God has revealed all mysteries to them and them alone. Growing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[M.A.S.H. Mansion. Apartment. Shack. House.
Did anyone else ever play this silly game? Everyone did when I was in early elementary school. The concept is easy: the player makes four choices corresponding to lists of everything that he/she would ever want. List categories could include future spouse, car, place to live, job, number of kids, etc. [...]]]></description>

My official title was ‘Technical Support’ at the time, although I don’t know either how technical or supportive I was. I worked for an internet service provider and fielded calls from people who were having issues with their on-line connection. On this particular day, I get [...]]]></description>

Because while friend, lover, support, partner, etc. are all fine and good, there&#8217;s only one that provides various objects or food out of thin air for my consumption. It seems I have barely had time to notice that I [...]]]></description>
