		<description><![CDATA[ My personal theology includes the strong conviction that God’s reign arches over all of life, so when I face difficulties the question is not  &#8220;Is God here during this difficult time?&#8221; but rather, &#8220;How shall my faith in God help me through this trouble?&#8221; And my answer usually comes back to &#8220;hope,&#8221; for it is [...]]]></description>

The husband of my oldest friend in the world is being treated for bladder cancer at M.D. Anderson. Another very close friend had just been diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer. That same week, my cousin was treated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Praying the psalms? We recite them, yes. Some of us chant them or sing them (sometimes). But praying the psalms as a spiritual practice? We turn prayerfully to Psalm 23 for comfort in times of fear, despair, or sorrow; and we have other familiar or favorite psalms: &#8220;I lift up my eyes to the hills&#8221; [...]]]></description>

In that short time we have had five deaths of our friends, family, and parishioners. That is a lot of death and sorrow, a [...]]]></description>

“Help! Help! The sky is falling! I have to go tell the king.”
“Slow down there, Chicken Little. Do your breathing exercises. The sky [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
We  marked the end of summer at our house by taking down the pool schedule from the refrigerator. It was the day after Labor Day. The pool was closed. Summer was over.
But I lingered a while in my bare feet in the kitchen resurrecting all the past summers of my life.
