		<description><![CDATA[Q: We&#8217;ve been considering cremation. We thought it would be good stewardship of our finances (in that it would be much less expensive than a burial) and that our remains would be in a place with other Christian&#8217;s.

		<description><![CDATA[Few things seem more out of place than the appalling account of Herod’s slaughter of the innocents (Matthew 2:16). Why would a loving God permit a tyrant’s massacre of children to stain the beauty and poignancy of the Christmas story? Matthew recounts in stark simplicity: “[Herod] sent soldiers to kill all the boys in and [...]]]></description>

It has been over two and a half years now since he died. In that time I’ve experienced every emotion known to man. I’ve gone from numbness, to disbelief, to anguish, [...]]]></description>
