		<title>Reach for the Power Tools!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes life is tough. Sometimes we feel like David, slinging only a small stone at a giant problem, and our greatest fear is that we will just make the problem worse.

		<title>Baskets: Yours, Mine and His</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When my daughter was ten years old, she came to me with a ten-year old’s crisis, a problem between her friends.

		<title>An Ocean of Grief</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I cautiously watch the water
            as it moves along the shore
                        creeping closer to the sand
                                    around my feet.
Beyond the crashing waves, where
           the water is deepest green
                        the ocean mirrors the depth
                                    of my grief.
My grief is like the ocean,
            sorrow coming in like waves,
                        sometimes gentle like a ripple
                                    on the sea.
 Other times [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Book of Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our lives are like Books
in God’s vast library of time.
They begin with our birth and
every event is recorded on a line.
As we grow and mature or
work through each crisis one by one,
we can rest quite assured there’s a
chapter in our Book that is done.
But if we stumble in the middle and aren’t
sure of the way [...]]]></description>

We cry until no more tears will come; we bury our heads under our pillow; we find ourselves so low that we just can’t [...]]]></description>
