		<title>Eating Crow from the Buffet of Never</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems I will never learn the lesson to &#8220;never say never.&#8221; In my life, this lesson has played out more times than I care to admit and yet, I continue to forget that never is a mere stones throw away from reality. My list of &#8220;nevers&#8221; is long and actually quite amusing from this perspective! And it is supplying me with an abundance of crow to consume as we go through this lean economic time.
Let&#8217;s see, I said I would never marry and if for some reason I did, ...]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;The Symphony of Silence&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among  the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.&#8221;
Psalm 46:10
Do you ever take time to just get silent before God?  Not in a way that says &#8220;I need something from you, so I am going to do this,&#8221;  but just to &#8220;be&#8221; with Him.  He instructs in His Word to do that, but it seems that far too many people are just too busy to be still before the Father and marvel at His creation.
I had the chance ...]]></description>

		<title>Joyful in all Circumstances!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Then [Ezra] told them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet drink,  and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is  holy to our Lord. And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold.&#8221; 
Nehemiah  8:10
Tuesdays are my favorite day of the week.  On that day at 1:30 PM PST, I meet with incredible people from all around this great land of ours and pray.  We are a group of people who ...]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;If My House Could Talk&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, my husband and I went through one  devastation most wish to never face, but far too many in our society today are having to work through.  We like millions of other hard working, big dreaming Americans have lost our home to foreclosure due to the real estate collapse.  This is probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to experience not so much because of the loss of the house, but because of the loss of relationship from some I thought would never turn on me, and ...]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Time to Rebuild the House!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house [of the Lord] lies in ruin?&#8221; Haggai 1:4

Recently, we moved into a new home, and this is an exciting time because it was an incredible provision which the Lord had given to us in our time of need.  And yet even in the midst of teaching a new series I have written called &#8220;12 Women/12 Weeks/12 Destines&#8221; to 12 incredible women with the intention of inspiring them to their greatness and to not use excuses,obstacles ...]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Give Up!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you have a dream which has not been fulfilled?
Is there a vision you have received from the Lord which has not come to pass?
Are you ready to quit and walk away from God&#8217;s perfect will for you?
Before you do, read this.  I want to encourage you to keep believing, not in the dream or vision, but in the One who planted it in you before the beginning of time!
I have a big vision, and  I am a big thinker.  In many ways this is a blessing from God, but ...]]></description>

		<title>Review of Gigi&#8217;s Big Break (DVD) Gigi, God&#8217;s Little Princess By Sheila Wal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was excited to review &#8220;Gigi&#8217;s Big Break&#8221; by Sheila Walsh.  Probably because I have a little princess living in my home who reminds me so much of the gregarious Gigi, but also because I am a bit tired of the trite entertainment available for little girls today which seems to be built around vanity and self adulation.   This DVD was refreshing, humorous and memorable.
To start, I was impressed with the page illustrations.  They were vibrant and alive.  The animation seemed awkward at first to me until I realized that ...]]></description>

		<title>Where Were You???</title>
		<description><![CDATA[     Most of us have experienced pain in our lives at one time or another. For some, that pain has been beyond what many of us could even imagine. We live in a fallen and sinful world which has a tendency to cause us pain.  What makes it worse and even harder to accept is when the pain we experience is caused by someone we love and trust.  Instead of being there to protect us, they turn into someone who hurts us.   ...]]></description>

		<title>You Are the One the Slipper Fits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As little girls, we dream of being Cinderella.  We long to find our Prince Charming and to live happily ever after.  What we seem to forget in our daydreams is all that poor Cinderella had to experience in her life just to get to the place where she could live happily ever after.
As a young child, Cinderella lost her mother.  After her father married a woman who hated her, he himself died.  This poor young girl went from a Princess to a pauper overnight as she became a servant to ...]]></description>
