		<description><![CDATA[I was putting away from clothes in my daughter&#8217;s room when I noticed a few things had fallen onto the floor next to her dresser. One in particular caught my eye: a baseball player&#8217;s autograph. To me, this piece of paper does nothing more than collect dust. Even if it were to become valuable monetarily, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago we were struggling to navigate the somewhat murky world of childhood money management. I talked to friends and fellow parents, young and old, to determine the best course of action. Do we give our kids an allowance at all? Is it tied to chores? How much do we give? Do we [...]]]></description>

(Get your mind out of the gutter people, I&#8217;m talking about acts of kindness here.) Recently, I heard Beth Moore tell her &#8220;hairbrush story&#8221; and was reminded of a very similar experience I had. In Beth&#8217;s story, she was [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll be standing in Target, waiting to spend a portion of my kids&#8217; inheritance, thinking about something I should blog about. But then the moment passes, and I don&#8217;t sit down to write. Or worse, I second guess whether the topic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the beginning of last summer, I made a renewed effort to read the Bible daily. Like a lot of folks, I&#8217;ve tried to read scripture daily quite a few times in my life, but haven&#8217;t been successful in continuing the habit for a whole year. So I dug up an old copy of &#8220;The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hate Christmas lights. Before you think I&#8217;ve gone all heathen on you, let me explain. I hate the commercialism of Christmas, and the lights seem to sum up all that is commercial about Christmas. I mean, why spend tons of money to make your house glow for a few weeks? I don&#8217;t get it. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the past four years I&#8217;ve coached rec soccer. Throughout that time, I&#8217;ve learned a few things about parents and kids, winning and losing. I&#8217;ve led undefeated teams, and teams that haven&#8217;t won any games at all. With the close of this year&#8217;s outdoor soccer season, I decided to share a few of my lessons [...]]]></description>

To be honest, with all that has been going on, I had forgotten I even wrote that post. But when someone commented on it today, I was reminded of my own words. I guess this is one of those [...]]]></description>
