		<description><![CDATA[I love illustrations used in sermons and teachings… the funny ones, the touching ones… even the sad ones when they&#8217;re used strategically (but not gratuitously).  They add dimension and understanding to what a preacher/teacher is hoping to get across in a way that reaches us like no other. This week, however, I became the star [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cjay56.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8051482&amp;post=835&amp;subd=cjay56&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In recent weeks I&#8217;ve been challenged by my reactions to circumstances I&#8217;ve been involved with to stop and reflect more completely on the person I am becoming.   I always think of these times as reality checks. Can’t say I’m crazy about doing this kind of  work… but can’t deny that the results have value either.

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, Friday, June 24th, I woke up at about 11:30 p.m. with an upset stomach of the mega kind. It was the beginning of a long 2.5 to 3 hours that ended, finally, at just before 2 a.m. as my first morning alarm was going off. (I&#8217;ll tell the morning alarm story another day.)

The cycle of life can be quite overwhelming if we aren’t focused and settled in our point of view about it.  That doesn’t mean there are never issues where we question [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cjay56.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8051482&amp;post=785&amp;subd=cjay56&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I began a quest not too long ago for an understanding of Christian graciousness. This wasn’t because of some great spiritual deep in me calling unto the Great Deep&#8230; it was the exasperated call of a clutz who just couldn’t “get it”&#8230; and certainly wasn’t “getting it right”.
