		<description><![CDATA[So here I am sitting in a car stuck in traffic and I was wondering what I could do that would be somewhat productive. I have read the live feed of my Facebook friends and caught up on my twitter feed. And then I was just sitting here and realized something that I think we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever felt in need of purpose? Ever wonder if there was anything special in store for you in your life? Imagine for a second, if you can, you were a certain key on a keyboard. You look around at the other keys and they all seem to be used quite often. There are the letters, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unusual Silence.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I live about 2-3 Kilometers from a pretty busy airport runway. Come to think about it, I have lived close to airports for the past 26 years of my life.  I am really used to the sound of engines of all sizes on all sorts of planes, from fighter jets to cargo planes.  After a while you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fish Eye&#8217;s View</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Short version: Matthew 4:18-22 (NLT) &#38; Mark 1:16-21 (NLT) I was at the pool today playing with my waterproof camera. I was messing around and took a few pictures of myself through the water.  Suddenly the thought hit me:  Jesus called us to be fishers of men.  Fishermen are normally above the water surface. So what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Ripples</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A splash at a pool may be quickly applauded and get some oohs and aaahs out of the people watching, but the ripples it makes and the ripples someone makes just swimming, or even just sticking their toes into the water are often quickly the same size. The splash itself is quickly gone.  Spiritually as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Being the New Kid in Town</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I had the opportunity to speak with Phil Dooley, formerly Student ministry pastor of Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia. The youth work is called Hillsong United and has become well known for it’s praise team, which he mentored and toured with. He was the worship director for the church for a year and on staff as one of the teaching pastors. Yet God called him to a new work. And he and his family felt and responded to the call. Now he is the lead pastor of the new church plant of Hillsong in Cape Town, South Africa. Hearing that he and his family left such a good work and a comfortable life in Sydney I thought it would be interesting to hear how that transition was for them.

 In this interview you will hear him speak of the move and about overcoming giants in our lives. Phil had just finished speaking on David and Goliath. It was a wonderful message about David’s focus on God and how in light of who God is, everything else seems to pale, even if it is a giant … it isn’t in comparison to God’s greatness.]]></description>

		<title>Showing Compassion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It wouldn’t be very helpful to post a blog entry like my last one about churches and ‘going’ without offering a way to join in on the journey of making a difference in the world.

 A few months ago I was at a conference and as I almost always have a camera with me, I decided to go and meet some people on the side lines of the conference.

		<title>Christians that make a difference.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do know that there are groups of people who do go. REALLY  go. Not that many, yet some do.  And there are good examples of great beacons of lights that shine, Hope, Glory and Christ into the world around them and even beyond that.]]></description>
