		<title>It&#8217;s Been Awhile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven’t actually written a real post in – ahhh – well over two years.&#160; That’s not good, and it needs to be rectified. What has life been like? Way too much to say on that subject. But it has been a kick. Let’s see… Izzie will be starting per-school in a few weeks. Caleb [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skipping Christmas &#8211; Part 8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Final Thoughts It&#8217;s Christmas Day and I&#8217;m still not sure I have totally figured it all out. At the Christmas Eve service last night, I commented that I really didn&#8217;t miss much of the Christmas traditions that I had skipped. I had bought a few gifts for Bekah and Caleb, but not much more than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skipping Christmas &#8211; Part 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Secret Santas and Yankee Swaps Itâ€™s Sunday morning and we are having a heck of a storm here in Maine. Most of the churches in the area have cancelled services, but I still walked over to the Church for anyone that may still show up. (Itâ€™s all of 100 feet away.) This morning, seven other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skipping Christmas &#8211; Part 6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So This is How it Feelsâ€¦ I have tried to be neutral in honor of my â€œSwissâ€ Christmas this year, but it has been very difficult. It is amazing how many people make small talk this time of year by saying something along the lines of â€œso, are you all ready for Christmas?â€ At times, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skipping Christmas &#8211; Part 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Phone Call I received a message on my phone the other day from a concerned parishioner. She is part of the Gab â€˜n Grow study group that meets on Wednesday afternoons at the church. At the study group, she has been trying to convince me that Christmas isnâ€™t as bad as I am making [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skipping Christmas &#8211; Part 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mail Call!! If your house is anything like mine, youâ€™ve been receiving all of the circulars and advertisements for Pre-Christmas sales, Black Friday sales, and the ever-popular Holiday sales. Iâ€™ve also been receiving a fair amount of email advertisements to try to get me to make my special purchases in time for those special items [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skipping Christmas &#8211; Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Search for the Slogan Early on, I tried to capture the idea behind what I was doing to a Bible study class I was holding. They asked me why on earth I was skipping Christmas. I tried as best as I could to explain it to them, but the right words just wouldnâ€™t come. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skipping Christmas &#8211; Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Word Gets Outâ€¦ Iâ€™m a pastor. Pastors donâ€™t just â€œskipâ€ major holidays on the Christian calendar. Advent was coming in about a week, and I had to make some quick decisions. How was I going to break it to the congregation about my bold, new initiative to skip one of the most holy days [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skipping Christmas &#8211; Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the Beginningâ€¦ It all started out as a simple enough idea. All we were going to do was skip Christmas this year. We had no reason not to. We are both broke; Elisabeth is only a little over a year old, so she wonâ€™t remember; Rebekah and Caleb are staying in New York with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Everything Must Change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading Brian McLaren&#8217;s newest book, &#8220;Everything Must Change&#8221;. I am not all of the way through it, but it is incredible. I had felt as though his previous books lacked a sense of clarity. This work brings much of the cloudiness of his vision of the Kingdom of God into sharp focus. On [...]]]></description>
