		<description><![CDATA[With small pangs of heartbreak, I allowed him to turn 6-years-old. Twice that day he leaned close and whispered: I&#8217;m six. He&#8217;s trying it on. He&#8217;s turning, we&#8217;re all turning; officially exiting &#8220;Chapter of the Small Child.&#8221; (sigh) We&#8217;ve spent a lot of time here. Years ago, when I tossed my graduation cap high in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[*Several weeks ago, when the 5-year-old whispered up to me during the worship service: Why don&#8217;t miracles happen NOW?&#8230;I thought of the modern-day healings and visions I&#8217;ve read about, but I knew he meant: Why can&#8217;t I see a miracle? Tonight I heard a pastor speak about God found in places we don&#8217;t think to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most beautiful things about the Thanksgiving table is that in the name of gratitude, people come together, gathering their best plates, family recipes, laughing children, a year of stories. This is the way we celebrate. Despite a flailing economy and a multitude of reasons for sorrow, we celebrate the evidence of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Must.Write.Now. It’s a bit obvious when the songwriter in this house has stayed away too long from writing, because she starts getting just a LITTLE bit grumpy.  A TINY bit irritable.  Easily IRKED.  Not by political leaders or financial crises or even by semi-big deals like being behind (again) on emails or (chronically) filing paperwork.

I’d just started down the long gravel drive, my parents waving in the rearview mirror, shouting their love…and suddenly all these years of being alive here together were also disappearing [...]]]></description>

Sizzling sausage. This is the tranquil intro. Tapping out a bass line in email responses. I can hear the rushing water of the shower upstairs [...]]]></description>

I’m turning less young this week, and I&#8217;ve been learning…slowly..painfully slowly… the art of letting my SELF&#8230;go.
