		<title>Remain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;Download audio file (Remain.mp3)

John 15 is a passage of scripture that has been a constant encouragement and challenge in my life.&#160; &#34;Remain In Me&#34; is both a powerful command and an incredible invitation.&#160; I&#39;ve often wrestled with what it looks like to remain and even more often with how to go about it.&#160; In a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My post on &#39;Trendy Justice &#39; has garnished a fair bit of attention since I posted it.  Recently it was published in the Island Insight section of the BC Christian News .
&#160;(I will say I wish they hadn&#39;t titled like they did&#8230; but that&#39;s the media for you &#8211; HA.)

		<title>Blazing A Trail Within</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dan Wilt, a friend of mine from the East Coast, sent out some thoughts via email today, and they&#39;re really sitting with me.&#160; Here&#39;s what he wrote:
Blazing A Trail Within. Dan Wilt, M.Min.
&#160;
In the worshiper&#39;s life, the longest, most arduous journey, is
the one we trek inside. The terrain of each heart is a rugged one,

		<title>Overwhelmed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I received really heavy news.&#160; A long time friend died in a motorcycle accident this week at the age of 30.&#160; The news hit me really hard.&#160; My heart is broken for the family, and as a friend I&#39;m overwhelmed by the loss.&#160; Death and grieving are hard realities, and experiences that are only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trendy Justice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Not sure if you&#39;ve noticed, but social justice is the new black!&#160; What I mean is, it&#39;s become really trendy to get involved, to make a difference, to embrace justice.&#160; I love some of what&#39;s resulted from this collective social conscience.&#160; Organizations like Invisible Children  and Bono&#39;s ONE  campaign are examples of an [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Soloist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I started working at the Salvation Army I knew I would be encountering a pretty steep learning curve.&#160; I&#39;ve never been homeless, addicted to drugs or alcohol, and I&#39;ve never suffered from mental illness.&#160; The past year has opened my eyes and my heart more and more of what it would be like to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Crack In A Damn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Friday March 6th I played my first show in the Valley.&#160; I was really nervous about it, but knew it was something I had to do.&#160; In fact, I&#39;ve known since we made the move to the Island that God was going to really move me beyond my comfort zone musically.&#160; To date so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Invitation To Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The world we live in sure is moving at a brisk pace.&#160; In fact, I caught myself feeling as if I&#39;d stepped out of bed onto moving ground multiple mornings this week.&#160; I often feel as if there&#39;s &#39;just so much to do&#39;, and was actually becoming quite defeated in the midst of it all.&#160; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our Saviour Is Born</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Merry Christmas!&#160; I pray that this entry finds you safe in the care of the God who&#39;s birth we celebrate.&#160; I can say without a doubt that Janna and I definitely are.&#160; The year that we&#39;ve lived since last Christmas has been filled with opportunities to see Him at his best.&#160; There are obviously too [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8216;Ministry of Presence&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#39;ve been finding myself deep inside a tension between caring and becoming overwhelmed.&#160; I have the deep privillage of being invited into peoples lives daily.&#160; I sit with multiple people everyday and listen to their stories, share laughs, hugs, tears, etc.&#160; I get to pray, encourage, give to, and receive from people countless times [...]]]></description>
