		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;A thousand times I&#8217;ve failed, still Your mercy remains. Should I stumble again, still I&#8217;m caught in Your grace.&#8221; So goes the lines of one of my favorite songs.

		<description><![CDATA[A recent televised interview captured my attention. The author of a controversial book kept responding to questions by saying, “That’s a great question.” And then he would orbit that “great question” without ever landing on an answer.
