		<description><![CDATA[Death is wrong, And its grip is strong, Like a vice squeezing my heart, Yet somehow tearing it apart. And this deep, deep pain Goes against the very grain And fiber of our being, We are wounded by death’s sting.  Because of sin and the fall, We all must wear death’s pall. And we quickly [...]]]></description>

We need you, O Lord, As the orphan longs to be a daughter. We need you. Deep in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I marvel at how, too often, we define people by what they’ve done. We do it with others and with ourselves. And we sometimes do it with those whose lives are recorded in the Bible. I think the epitome of this error is when we talk about “The Woman Caught in Adultery.” Anyone with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dad, you have always been A safe and secure place. Your legacy lies within Your gentle, warm embrace. Your heart and arms form A safe and secure place, A shelter in squall and storm, An incarnation of grace.  Happy Father’s Day, dad. We love you so much, and thank the Lord for you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The purest man ever born, Here forsaken and forlorn Tortured and racked with pain Divinity enfleshed and slain Upon a rugged tree We now call Calvary. Why, we ask, why Did He have to die? Is mankind that evil? Is sin that primeval, Are we that fallen and obscene That God Himself must intervene? The incarnation affirms, [...]]]></description>

Hope, Through tear-blinded eyes, Through cloud-darkened skies, Hope, When trapped in grief, And wrapped in unbelief, Hope, When all comes undone, Refuse to abandon Hope. Hope, When temptations ensnare, [...]]]></description>

You are my faith in my unbelief, My consolation in my grief. Your presence alone brings relief,             A cool and curing balm. You are my retreat in the chaos Of [...]]]></description>
