		<description><![CDATA[When somebody shames you, take a step back. Don't make quick decisions. You have the right (and duty) to get a second opinion. Guard your choices. They are a sacred gift. Ultimately, it is from this luminous choosing part of ourselves that we reach toward all that is hopeful. It is from this place of freedom that all good and lasting growth comes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For my friends at Ground Zero, cleaning was a cosmic act. In a place of chaos and despair, they were able to create a pocket of serenity and to witness to the reality of a divine pattern despite the brokenness all around them. By putting things back into their places, they witnessed to the tearless luminous world that is just beyond the edge of our own.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day I was driving through a neighborhood where I usually roll up the windows and lock the doors. It is not, typically, a spot where I would consider exiting my car. But as I was driving past Fireball Faith in Christ Jesus Church, the church sign caught my eye and captured my imagination. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the perks of working for Boundless are the e-mails I receive from readers, full of inspiration and challenge. I&#8217;ve been surprised, however, by the number of e-mails I&#8217;ve received with questions about writing. Readers have asked how ideas grow into articles, how to approach editors, and how to transition into full-time paid freelance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago, when I was struggling through a difficult relationship, one of my seminary mentors said, &#8220;Always act in the name of hope.&#8221; I&#8217;ve thought about his advice many times over the years, especially when I&#8217;m tempted to despair. Life is rife with situations and relationships that feel unfixable. But when we act in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning, 10-month-old Natalie woke when it was still dark, at 5:30 a.m. I knew she&#8217;d already woken at least once before that, because sometime during the night I&#8217;d brought her into our bed, where she&#8217;d snuggled between my husband and me until that unfortunate moment when she sat up on the bed and said, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When my husband and I were newlyweds, we moved to Portland, Oregon. Those first few weeks in Portland were unsettling — we slept on a stranger&#8217;s hardwood floor, caring for her ailing kitten, while adjusting to college. Oregon (not &#8220;Or-e-gone&#8221; as I quickly learned) was both magnificent and disorienting. As dazzled as I was by [...]]]></description>

I cannot tell you how his friends spoke to him for he had none. So begins one of the most delightful books in C.S. Lewis&#8217;s Chronicles of Narnia, The Voyage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago I published &#8220;Hope and Healing Among the Amish&#8221; about the tragic schoolhouse shootings in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Now that some time has passed I&#8217;ve had a chance dig a little deeper and expand my earlier thoughts. After the shootings, the Amish demolished the schoolhouse where so many suffered and died.

U R !&#8221; That sign reminds me of the millions of people across the country who skip church, and I wonder what drives people away or makes them reluctant to come in the first place.
