		<title>The Horse and Her Boy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My father raised cutting horses, among other things. Consequently I grew up working around horses most of my young life. Unlike my sister, however, who raises Tennessee Walkers these days, I left home with a firm conviction: I will never own a horse! For me, they represented nothing but hard work. I fully subscribe to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“If we ever need to know, you may be sure that we shall.”
~The Hermit of the Southern March in C. S. Lewis’s The Horse and His Boy 
“[Digory] was . . . longing more and more to know what was written on the pillar. And very soon they both knew. What it said was something [...]]]></description>

		<title>“The Heart of a Pioneer” (Part 3)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2 Corinthians 5:10-21
This week we are considering the heart of a pioneer—to be willing to do the hard work of blazing the trail of ministry. To do the dangerous work of walking point. To do the challenging work of leading the way. This was the heart of the apostle Paul—church planter and missionary. Monday we [...]]]></description>

		<title>God of Abundance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a day when we are bombarded with dire warnings about over-population, we must remind ourselves that God, who created and sustains everything, is a God of abundance. The psalmist praised Him for His generous provision for His creatures.
A report from the Harvard Center for Population Studies attests to the earth&#8217;s enormous potential to sustain [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why He&#8217;s So Special</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some pretty good people have founded religions over the centuries. One religious leader spent a good portion of his life trying to find truth—an admirable quest.
Another religious leader was a teacher and a civil servant who drew up an honor code for his people—a respectable venture.
No matter how good any originators of world religions may [...]]]></description>

		<title>“The Heart of a Pioneer” (Part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2 Corinthians 5:10-21
It takes a special kind of person to be a pioneer. To, as Star Trek’s Captain Kirk used to say, “boldly go where no man has gone before” requires a special heart and mind—a heart and mind of faith and boldness. This is what drove Paul to say in Romans 15:20:
“And so I [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Thoughts on &#8220;Crafty Means&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“The best thing you can do for your fellow is not to tell him, but to wake things up that are already in him.”
~George MacDonald
There are numerous examples of Jesus’ subtlety, but one that comes to mind is His use of the non sequitur: an answer to a question that doesn’t seem to follow.

		<title>Tell All the Truth But Tell It Slant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tell all the Truth but tell it slant—
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth’s superb surprise
As Lightening to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind—
 
~Emily Dickinson
One of the first books on fly fishing I know anything about appeared in the late fifteenth century. It was [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Psalm 96:  Calling for a Party&#8221; (Part Three)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Celebrate God,
our great Creator,
and our Judge.  (96:10-13)
This week is a call to have a party.  Maybe just a few minutes a day, or with a prayer during a painful moment.  To celebrate that He is still God.  And that we need Him.
And that He loves us and is willing to help us.
It’s so easy to [...]]]></description>
