		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Easter time, and sermons are now discussing stories surrounding the Passion. One of these that I&#8217;ve always had a lot of difficulty with is the story of Jesus being anointed with perfume. It actually appears in all four gospels (with some rather significant variations), but let&#8217;s just take a quick look at the account [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A passage this morning [at Community](http://communityfellowship.org/) was from the [letter of James](http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%204:13-17;&#038;version=31;), about looking to our futures:

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s getting quiet here. Time to [bust out some controversy](http://sinfest.net/d/20000124.html).
[*Prayer*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer). Pretty major part of Christianity, being the means by which we can talk to God. The natural extension from talking to God is to *listen back*. So lets talk about listening to God. 
For starters, the Bible&#8217;s pretty clear about *seeking out* two-way communication with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Christmas season.
Family time, gift-giving, cold weather, and delicious food. It seems we&#8217;re also faithfully observing another annual tradition: That of **fighting over the season&#8217;s name**.
The Globe and Mail serves up [this year's main installment](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20051125.wtreeptr1125/BNStory/Front/): 
&#8220;Regarding the Christmas tree generously donated by Nova Scotia, I hope we can all celebrate it.  Nonetheless, this tree [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joy seems to be back.
It&#8217;s one of those words that sort of *fell out of favour* for a while. Are we too cool to be joyful? No one pretends that most of life isn&#8217;t the relentless pursuit of *happiness*, so what about Joy?
What are car commercials? Get the car, get the girl. Girl + car [...]]]></description>

In the middle of the story, one of the rabbits tries to explain the miracle that allowed him to escape from an extraordinarly powerful foe:
&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be very hard to describe what happened next. Although all four of us were there, we don&#8217;t understand it ourselves. But what I&#8217;m going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lewis&#8217; book [The Great Divorce](http://www.cslewisclassics.com/books/great_divorce-excerpt.html) is a compelling hypothesis on the nature of Hell. There&#8217;s really not much about the afterlife in the Bible, but it&#8217;s fun to speculate, at least in moderation.
I&#8217;d love to think that Heaven is like an enormous never-ending dinner-party.
###God&#8217;s Kegger
Drinking to excess (&#8220;gluttony&#8221;) is one of those prohibited things (&#8220;sins&#8221;). [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A fellow from ISCF at my high school MSNed me like last night about it. I&#8217;m normally not too thrilled about going to random people&#8217;s youth groups midweek&#8230; but Frannie and I decided to go anyways.
It really was fantastic. It was being hosted by the youth group of a Korean church in Northern Toronto, but [...]]]></description>
