		<description><![CDATA[If there are any gifts given to us by God, I think they come in this form: moments that we don't expect, people that are here and then gone, dreams and memories that you can hardly remember. Our lives are so fragile, and so tenuously balanced between a darkness we cannot survive and a light we haven't yet learned to live with - what the divine places directly into them cannot remain. It would undo us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s no surprise that the Christian Church is failing. People say the church is full of hypocrites? It is! People say the church is inward-looking, behind the times, slow to change? It is! People say the church is full of self-interested, self-righteous, self-worshipping bigots incapable of looking past their own over-inflated egos? By all that used to be held as Holy, <em>it is</em>! But the one thing you will have trouble finding, the one thing the church is no longer filled with? Christians.]]></description>
