		<description><![CDATA[As I think I said in the &#8220;Here we go&#8221; post, I could have gotten as much out of the sessions if I had stayed home and watched the DVDs. That isn&#8217;t to say there was/is anything wrong with the sessions, it has more to do with how I process info. I don&#8217;t like crowds, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Greg Laurie would be considered by some to be a superstar pastor. I used to think that was always a negative thing. After tonight I don&#8217;t. Why not?

OJ, BTK, The Menendez Brothers. While I feel for the families, I don’t need another reminder of the messed-up nature of our society. One of the things the [...]]]></description>
