		<description><![CDATA[People who know me well know that sometimes when angry I use impolite language. I&#8217;ve been known to say things that the average person would find to be profane, even obscene. I&#8217;m not proud of it; it&#8217;s something I struggle with.
Nevertheless, there are words I cannot bring myself to utter, words that I hear other [...]]]></description>

Unfortunately, that probably also means not a lot of people are reading the blog, at least not like they used to. Blog writers know that to keep up interest, you have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re working on a cookbook as part of the fundraising effort for adding a room onto our house to give more room for Hannah, her equipment, and her nurses. First, of course, we have to gather recipes. Hannah&#8217;s blog has the information succinctly published already.

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know this child, but I know someone who is caring for this child. I know a little bit about her medical career, and if she says she can barely talk about the situation, it must be bad. Prayers needed. You can see details on Terri&#8217;s blog.

I&#8217;ve been going regularly to Fairview United Methodist Church, which has a unique ministry for special needs children and their families.

I cried through eating lunch, and it wasn&#8217;t because the food was bad, but because I watched the video while I ate. Good idea to watch the video. Bad idea to eat while doing so. You can also see the original blog that [...]]]></description>
