		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Some people think that a spiritual quest of any kind is a colossal waste of time. For them, the only things that are real are those that can be proven or measured. They might think, Life boils down to earning and buying and selling&#8230; eating and drinking and having fun&#8230; respiration, digestion, elimination, ovulation, ejaculation, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I wrote about being a practical atheist, and then discovered there is a whole book about the subject &#8211; The Christian Atheist by Craig Groeschel. A look at the index shows what this involves: When You Believe in God but Don&#8217;t Really Know Him When You Believe in God but Are Ashamed of Your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I found these stones piled up along the shore of Victoria Park, PEI. Did this happen naturally, or is there some intelligent designer behind it? To me, these stones testify &#8211; or point to &#8211; the hand that shaped and positioned them. They are a silent message, reminding me that they did not just &#8216;happen&#8217;, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s me going for a walk&#8230; in the ocean. Experiencing God is like experiencing the ocean. You can only touch a small part of it, and you could never grasp the whole of it. It&#8217;s expanse, it&#8217;s depth, and the wonder that it contains, is all beyond my reach. But that doesn&#8217;t stop me from [...]]]></description>

A place where all people are welcomed and blessed, no matter who they are, what they are like, what they have done or not done, or how they stand in relationship to God. Jesus models this with His disciples, a motley crew of followers from a variety of backgrounds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I chatted with an atheist. Sitting here at Starbucks, working on my blog devotionals, I noticed he was reading Karen Armstrong&#8217;s The Case For God. I appreciated his honesty: He was an ardent atheist, but was concerned that he was becoming close-minded, so he was exploring perspectives on God&#8217;s existence. Most of the books [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Too often we think of church as a place where we go. The connection between &#8216;church&#8217; and a building is rooted in the very word itself, which comes from the Old English word &#8220;circe&#8221;, which is derived from the Greek word &#8220;kyriakon&#8221; meaning &#8220;the Lord’s (house)&#8221; from the Greek root word &#8220;kyrious&#8221; mean &#8220;Lord&#8221;.
