		<description><![CDATA[In 2009, my corner of the world had one of the coldest summers on record. Then snowflakes fell early in the fall. My friends and I joked that we don’t know about global warming, but we’re all for it. We’re threatening to buy larger vehicles and any product that comes in aerosol—whatever it takes to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All of us are capable of being zealous, regardless of our personality type. Even the most phlegmatic person can be passionate about something. Some people are into soccer, for others it’s food. So the issue isn’t whether or not one can be zealous, but where a person’s devotion lies. In Romans 12, the apostle Paul [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After the recent post “Love Notes” went up on ODJ last week on August 11th, I received a kind email from the father of the little girl who left little notes of affection behind for her family before she passed away from cancer. No one here at ODJ had any idea that the day the article [...]]]></description>

He remembered slices of his life: living in Slovakia, teaching English in China, and last night’s sleep in Discovery Park, but he could not remember his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Carefully patting the dirt around the base of the seedling, we stepped back to observe our work. Six years old, I was helping my dad plant a small weeping willow in the center of our otherwise barren backyard. When we moved soon afterward, I didn’t understand why the tree couldn’t go with us.

The Finger Lakes region of New York State has one the highest ratios of cloud cover in America. The locals call it “cement sky.” Many of us struggle with [...]]]></description>

So I was less than thrilled when I opened the dryer to discover a red marker without its cap among the load of newly washed clothes. Assessing the damage, I sighed heavily as I realized only a few pieces of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a confession to make. Reading through the lists of genealogies in the Bible can be less than scintillating for me. I know. Sure, they’re important. They help trace and verify a person’s roots. And they often provide essential background information as to why a story or person in the Bible is so relevant [...]]]></description>

In these well-known lines, He reveals Himself to us—who He is and what He has done for us. The prayer also reveals how we should respond to Him. Its initial focus is on [...]]]></description>
