		<description><![CDATA[
There is a poem that has been on my mind continually these days, called &#8220;Tripping over Joy.&#8221; 
I think of this poem when I contemplate the new building we have rented for our church (pictured above). It is a wonderful space&#8211;ideally suited to our needs. The caretaker who lives in the house says &#8220;It just [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve managed to post, or to write anything at all for that matter. I would like to say that I have been hiding behind the endless mountains of unfolded laundry or the dishes stacked in the sink, or that the work of being up with sick children night after [...]]]></description>

		<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>

~Japanese Poet Masahide
For the last seven years, my husband struggled to balance his job and a rigorous Ph.D. program. Several times a day, I would ask myself, &#8220;What if all the years we put into this are wasted. What if it doesn&#8217;t work [...]]]></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>

When I called my friend Rachel today, she said, &#8220;I am staying with your friends the Maddexes.&#8221; You might (or might not depending on how well you know me) be surprised to hear that at that simple statement I burst into tears. Rachel doesn&#8217;t really know the Maddex family. She was picked up from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently took my 7-year-old daughter to see the movie &#8220;Earth.&#8221; It&#8217;s breathtaking, with vivid scenes of fungi growing, birds tumbling from their nest in their first flight attempts and luminous snowy shots of polar bears struggling to survive in the arctic. But it&#8217;s also heartbreaking. In one aching scene, a wolf chases a baby [...]]]></description>
