		<title>My Tax Burden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Would you like to know why the US economy is about to take a nosedive yet again? It&#8217;s because people will have less to spend. A *lot* less. Check out MyTaxBurden.org.

		<title>Perversion of the Faith</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I. Introduction We continue with a study of Leviticus this week and we&#8217;re going to focus on the things God commanded the Israelites to avoid in order to live holy lives.

		<title>What We Offer to the Lord</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I. Introduction I&#8217;ve always joked that if I was ever asked to teach a lesson from the book of Leviticus, I would focus on the evils of shellfish. I&#8217;m allergic to shellfish &#8211; did any of you ever see the movie &#8220;Hitch&#8221; with Will Smith? And after another one of his disastrous dates where he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pastor Bob Botsford</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I watched Pastor Bob Botsford today on Larry King Live. Larry had Jennifer Knapp on, a singer who won Dove Awards for a rock song and as a new artist of the year back in 1999. Pastor Bob did an excellent job of speaking the truth with love. It was not received that way, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amazing Deliverance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I. Introduction Who in this class has a collection? Dolls, thimbles, something else? I used to collect pennies when I was a young teen. I&#8217;d go through my grandfather&#8217;s big jar of coins looking for specific pennies I didn&#8217;t have. The oldest penny I had was from 1916, if I recall correctly. Once, based on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Compassionate Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I. Introduction It&#8217;s difficult to see God at work sometimes, isn&#8217;t it? Unanswered prayers, world hunger, wars. Our own lives, sickness, injuries. Let&#8217;s start off today with a list of problems. Things that we believe God should solve, should do differently. Some big &#8220;why&#8221; questions. I&#8217;ll start off with a couple. What&#8217;s up with that [...]]]></description>

Is this person right for me? Should I compromise, or should I stand my ground? We are faced with decisions [...]]]></description>

		<title>Liberals Hate Sarah Palin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When George Bush ran against John Kerry, Kerry&#8217;s pictures always showed him looking thoughtful, pondering. Bush&#8217;s pictures made him look deranged. It&#8217;s beginning again. Sarah Palin spoke yesterday to Tea Party protestors, declaring, &#8220;America is ready for another revolution.&#8221; And this is the picture the Associated Press chose? I&#8217;ve seen many pictures and videos of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fourth Quarter GDP Growth Soars 5.7 Percent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fourth Quarter GDP Growth Soars 5.7 Percent. Or at least, that&#8217;s what the news media and the government would have us believe. Yippee, the recession is over. Except I don&#8217;t believe it. I see no evidence of it. I think I&#8217;m being lied to. Do you believe what you&#8217;re being told?]]></description>

		<title>Nuts vs. Creeps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love this paragraph from Peggy Noonan today: Speaking broadly: In the 2006 and 2008 elections, and at some point during the past decade, the ancestral war between Democrats and the Republicans began to take on a new look. If you were a normal human sitting at home having a beer and watching national politics [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kay Bailey Hutchison Loses a Voter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s it. Kay Bailey Hutchison will never get another vote from me. Socially issues, she&#8217;s ok. The positions she&#8217;s taken on abortion are mixed but generally pro-life, though the inconsistency indicates she&#8217;s voting pragmatically instead of from principles. She gets a 7% rating from NARAL indicating she&#8217;s pro-life, and a 75% rating from NRLC which [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Develop Your Faith</title>

We had plumbing leak #4 this past Sunday and our study was damaged by the leaking pipes.

		<title>Burning the Christmas Goat</title>
