		<title>Call to excellence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our denomination has moved to an &#8220;ethics&#8221; package for ministers.&#160; After reading this over, and signing it, we have committed to preach it in our services.&#160; The document itself is designed for official (ie. paid) workers of the C&#38;MA, but with some slight editorial work, works well! The document has a number of main points, [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Facebooking, social networking and growing up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reminded that anyone born in the 1984 &#8211; 2000 generation is considered a millennial.&#160; My son was born in 1984.&#160; He sits on that tipping edge.&#160; Right where the slope starts upwards once again &#8211; into a new approach to communication. We&#8217;ve heard that the new generation is computer literate &#8211; their source [...]]]></description>

		<title>The cold that lingers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My wife continues to deal with a cold that hangs on, hangs out and hangs in.&#160; Today she stepped out for a few minutes and came back a bit exhausted. Later I talked to my daughter &#8211; she has a daughter who has a cold.&#160; And my sister-in-law phoned &#8211; her cold continues on. What [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cold comes on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last few days I&#8217;ve been fighting a cold.&#160; I&#8217;m not always sure how you fight a cold.&#160; I took some lemon drink that helps fight the symptoms of a cold.&#160; I put oil of oregano under my tongue (great approach to fighting a cold!).&#160; I took some other medications.&#160; And used kleenex! Now, I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slogans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve become known amongst some people for my slogans.&#160; Most are lame (they need another leg to walk on?).&#160; Some are just a thought for the moment.&#160; Others seem to last. One phrase we have been using at our church has been &#8211; &#8220;committed to the community.&#8221;&#160; I&#8217;ve been looking at adding two further thoughts [...]]]></description>
