		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago I had a series of wonderful but disturbing “aha” moments regarding the church in America, the needs of the world, and my role in God’s mission. The information was not new to me, but God brought several factors into focus in a way that moved me.

		<description><![CDATA[Weddings are full of emotion. As I stood by Jonathan (my son) last Saturday, tears came flooding in at several points.
