		<description><![CDATA[A recent Gallup poll determined that 82% of Americans in 2007 identify with a Christian religion. Of course, these stats are ticking off all those people who scream, &#8220;This is NOT a Christian nation,&#8221; as they try desperately to secularize our country.
One person&#8217;s comment claims, &#8220;Gallup is an activist Christian poller.&#8221; I don&#8217;t know. Gallup [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Christmas season in Australia an ad running has ticked some Christians off. The ad is a commercial for a company called Betta Electrical Stores. The commercial recasts the nativity scene. Mary and Joseph kneel beside Baby Jesus in the manger, as the three wise men present him with their gifts. After the gifts are [...]]]></description>

This update is short and (hopefully) sweet.


Growing up, prayer was something with your head bowed and hands either folded or pressed together. That&#8217;s the way it was, and it&#8217;s what most people consider &#34;how it&#8217;s done&#34;.


It wasn&#8217;t until I was an adult, actually just a few years ago, that I noticed people praying with arms [...]]]></description>

At church yesterday (Sunday), I sat listening to our worship leader singing. I usually sing along, but I&#8217;ve had a bad cold and my voice starts to give out. But in just listening, I found myself drifting into prayer and thinking about the usual stuff in life: family, goals, talents, etc.


I asked God to care [...]]]></description>

When going through Cafe Press&#8217;s forum&#8217;s, Julie was searching for ways to promote our store, and came across a topic about Animoto.


Animoto is&#160;basically&#160;an online application that takes photos you upload,&#160;combines music (either from their selection of pretty cool music or your own) and somehow makes cool picture transitions&#160;that work with the feel of the music.

When I accepted Christ, I wasn&#8217;t under the false impression that my life would immediately get better. I didn&#8217;t get that sudden blast of feel good energy. I wasn&#8217;t witness to a vision of Jesus sitting next to me at McDonald&#8217;s while scarfing down a McMeat flavored sandwich. I used deductive reasoning to establish that [...]]]></description>

Today is unofficially known in the U.S. as &#34;Black Friday&#34;, the day after Thanksgiving which starts off the Christmas shopping season. The big chain stores open their doors at some unholy hour to sell stuff at really good deals until:

b. their limited stock is gone; or
