		<description><![CDATA[There has been a coyote wandering the woods around our area over the last few years, and occasionally we see him or hear him somewhere in the distance.  One of our children didn&#8217;t want to go out to wait for the bus this morning, because he was scared that the coyote would get him. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you can &#8220;spoil&#8221; a Pooh movie, then this post contains spoilers. @Klout gave me free movie passes to a preview and I enjoyed it with my 6-year-old this morning. It&#8217;s interesting to me how many Christian themes run through the new movie, Winnie the Pooh.  Like many 2011 children&#8217;s movies, the themes are simple [...]]]></description>

It always struck sort of a chord with me &#8211; not necessarily to buy Apple products (which I do) but more for its optimism about thinking creatively. Here it is: Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Learning this one simple rule makes a lot of other things work better and make more sense. When I forget this rule, trouble follows. Plus, it&#8217;s biblical. When I get to feeling that my needs and desires outweigh everyone else&#8217;s, I make selfish choices. While I don&#8217;t believe in Karma or The Law Of Attraction [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The original version of this book created a movement among men, especially Christians, who feel that a great read. something is missing in them being a &#8220;real man&#8221;. This is not a he-man, macho thing, but a real exploration of what it means to be a man &#8211; strong and loving, tough and tender. John [...]]]></description>
