		<description><![CDATA[Dear Rev. Jones: 
Caught you on “Nightline” last night, with my old Lawrence University friend Terry Moran.  I appreciated his patience and moderation in speaking with you.  As I listened I got the impression that you were thinking “Boy this was really a dumb idea, but how do I get out of it now?”  YOU said you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[California is once again revisiting the debate over &#8220;Prop 8,&#8221; the ballot measure that amended the state constitution to reinstate the ban on same-sex marriage that the court threw out last year.  This morning I was speaking with a good friend at the gym where I work out.  He is a self-described libertarian, but I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite things to do while watching political debates is to play along.  I have, over the years, come up with quite a few &#8220;zingers&#8221; or &#8220;what I woulda said&#8221; comments.  I have often marveled at the answers given by my candidates, and been frustrated by their lack of a quick comeback.  I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday evening Pastor Rick Warren of the Saddleback Community Church in Lake Forest, California hosted a political forum with the two presumptive candidates for president, Senators John McCain, and Barak Obama.  To suggest that Sen. McCain won the debate would be inaccurate, because it was not technically a debate.  It more resembled something like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am becoming more and more convinced of something I have believed for a long time, namely that our concept of God is terribly inadequate.  OUR GOD IS WAY TOO SMALL!  A good friend of mine has said that &#8220;Most Christians believe in a God Who is just about three inches bigger than us.&#8221;  That&#8217;s true, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent article on AlbertMohler.com was troubling (http://www.albertmohler.com/blog_read.php?id=1054).  Dr. Mohler&#8217;s article referenced the original story, from Newsweek (http://www.newsweek.com/id/69049).  A day or two later I saw the same story referenced on the NBC Today show, and again on FOX News, with commentary from two &#8220;talking heads,&#8221; one, a young liberatarian and former MTV &#8220;V.J.&#8221; named &#8220;Kennedy.&#8221;  [...]]]></description>
