		<description><![CDATA[During one of these moments, a good friend asked how I was doing.  I said "oh, not so good tonight.  I think grace walked away from me earlier when I was talking with my wife.  I wasn't as kind as I should have been."  He replied "Grace doesn't walk away from us Jason, we walk away from Grace."  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Café Mocha from Starbucks (Grande, thank you) is one of my weaknesses.  Whoever thought of combining chocolate and coffee together in a frothy mix of steamed goodness should win an award.   I tend to want one when I’m a bit stressed, and giving up the $4 coffee has been mighty difficult.  The other day, I had a relapse.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Transparent: The intro to “For All You’ve Done” just blows my mind. It may be the best intro on any cd I’ve heard this year. Can you tell me about that? “For All You’ve Done” is a pretty traditional worship song right now and I love the spark that you’ve added to it!”
Shelley: We wanted the CD to play like a worship service – start off with celebration, go to reflective and dramatic worship, then end with a bang.]]></description>

I choked back a tear and choked up a "Thanks..." and told the two 20-somethings that being a parent is extremely hard, and that the rewards are incomprehensible, and I loved it.]]></description>
