		<title>Staying close to your siblings?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been starting a lot of conversations on this topic lately. I&#8217;m finding, sadly, that when it comes to sibling relationships, a lot of us don&#8217;t expect much once we no longer live under the family roof. That&#8217;s too bad. It turns out that many of us think our siblings are terrific people, yet we find our relationships limited [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I cut down a tree for Earth Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems ironic at best to be cutting down a tree for Earth Day.  However, I&#8217;m taking that tree (a sapling) to into town for Saturday&#8217;s Halifax Earth Day Extravaganza, along with some clothespins.  It&#8217;s a tree on which to pin some prayers.  I hope you&#8217;ll come by my table and pin up your own prayer for Creation&#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stop that daffodil!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When I saw the first daffodil stems coming up, I was giddy.  When I saw forsythia blooms, I couldn&#8217;t believe it was happening.  Now there&#8217;s a tree already in practically full leaf along 501 at Centerville.  Yesterday, I saw red buds in bloom between Roxboro and Virgilina.  After all the anticipation, spring seems so sudden [...]]]></description>

		<title>Glory is to be noticed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ami Hudson 2/14/10 Sermon
                 How do we seek out and attend to glory?  In Exodus 34:29-35, Moses came down from Mt Sinai and &#8220;the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.&#8221;  This was different from any glow or flush you or I might get if we had carried those stone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Argue Less, Make Requests</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a tip for improving relationships: When there&#8217;s trouble in paradise, first try to say it as a request instead of a complaint.  &#8220;You don&#8217;t help around the house&#8221; (complaint) becomes &#8220;I&#8217;d like some help around the house.  Can we talk about what we can each do?&#8221; (request). Or &#8220;You&#8217;ve been on the phone all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Celtic Pilgrimage to Ireland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;To be on pilgrimage is to move into a world where the dividing line between past and present, between this world and the next, between what we call sacred and what we call secular, dissolves.&#8221; -Esther De Waal

		<title>Throwing Caution to the Wind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a child I loved to swim in the ocean.  I do less of that now for reasons which include jellyfish, riptides, rogue waves and sharks.  I still love going to the beach and occasionally I swim.  But the longer you go in life, the more you know about risks and what-ifs.  You become more [...]]]></description>
