		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I used the long-term parking lot at the new airport in Panama City Beach, FL. It was late. I was tired. As I eased up to the exit, I found an automated machine as well as a booth staffed by a woman in uniform. I lowered my window and asked, &#8220;Am [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[﻿ Ok, I agree with my wife and kids. I may be a bit hard to shop for.  It’s not that I have risen above materialism, but I can’t really think of much that I desire from the mall. So for those curious about my “wants” on this my 58th birthday, here is a partial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some humble reflections on race and the Church from one in recovery –  Because of poor biblical exposition, self-centeredness, fear and other factors, churches and religious organizations have often been the cause and/or encouragement of racism. Effectiveness as a minister requires a commitment to reconciliation, equality, partnership and shared leadership.  These will be very unlikely unless racial healing [...]]]></description>

Diversity is not the same thing as reconciliation. I’m [...]]]></description>
