		<description><![CDATA[Two weeks ago I spent most of a Saturday afternoon dodging snow bullets. Big, fat, wet flakes pummeled the Boston area for the better part of the day and into the evening. If it hadn&#8217;t been so wet, it would have qualified as &#8220;Charlie Brown snow&#8221; or, as Mels calls it, &#8220;engagement snow.&#8221; Mind this [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In recent weeks Iâ€™ve experienced a dramatic shift in the tides of a certain spiritual battle within my flesh. Temptation to this one particular sin in my life comes in transient waves dependent upon various circumstances within and without myself, but the decision to dive headlong into an approaching crest is entirely my own and [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago I was discussing spiritual gifts and ministry burdens with a dear friend and sister in Christ here at the IBC in Boston. She posed a question that no one has ever really asked me before: &#8220;What are your spiritual gifts, Jen? What is your bent towards ministry?&#8221; I replied that [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I rode into work struggling with a very specific thought pattern consisting mainly of untruths and delusions I&#8217;d willfully put into place in my heart and mind. It&#8217;s amazing how much energy one can put into endeavoring to maintain an illusion, to cultivate feelings that one assumes would go along with the fulfillment [&#8230;]]]></description>

Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto [&#8230;]]]></description>

There are many passages on which I could comment, but this one struck me particularly: Titus 3:1-7: Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be [&#8230;]]]></description>
