		<description><![CDATA[Acts promises that with the Holy Spirit in us, we will be able to boldly live out the Good News -- whether this takes the form of speaking confidently, or of taking the leap to follow our calling. I used to be terrified of public speaking. But when I started working with the subjects of faith and recovery -- subjects connected to my calling -- the fear was just gone. Gone.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being a new parent may be the greatest challenge to spiritual groundedness. In her new book, "Random MOMents of Grace," Ginny Kubitz Moyer takes us through early motherhood from a spiritual perspective -- the struggles she had to maintain a spiritual life, and the spiritual lessons she learned from parenting itself. It's an obvious gift for mothers, and a valuable and delightful read for any thoughtful traveller, male or female, parent or not, on the spiritual journey.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Each year Easter reminds me that renewal is for all of us all of the time. One of my treasured possessions is an icon given to me by my spiritual director before my own baptism which depicts what is commonly called the "Harrowing of Hades," where Jesus, between his death and resurrection, visits Hades, wakes Adam and Eve (symbolizing all of us) from their sleep and pulls them away from the control of death. We can wake up, be revived, and reconnect to divine love  -- at our baptism, with all the Church at Easter, or at any time. Have a blessed Easter.]]></description>

		<title>Lincoln, a review — and a reflection on dead history and dull worship</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Lincoln's core premise seems to be this: presentations of history should be slow and dull, like a Ken Burns documentary. I knew a handful of minutes in, a few lines of dialogue past the gratuitously brutal and out-of-place war scene, that I would not love this movie. What I did not expect was how uninteresting I would find it throughout. I love history. I revere Lincoln. But at 1:15, almost exactly the half way point, I was distracted by an email and put the screener copy on hold, got caught up in a few things and darned near forgot all about it.

Many have commented before on the odd coincidence of two blockbusters on the same subject, slavery, by two of modern filmmaking's most beloved directors coming out at the same time: Spielberg's <em>Lincoln</em> and Tarantino's <em>Django Unchained</em>. I saw <em>Django</em> back in December. Last month, I also watched the PBS documentary series, <em>The Abolitionists</em>. I found <em>The Abolitionists</em> -- all three+ hours -- engaging, informative and moving . I found <em>Django</em> emotionally powerful, morally powerful and absolutely entertaining. <em>Lincoln</em>... is dull as drying paint.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About five years ago, I got the idea to fast from judging whether or not beggars are worthy -- instead of deciding if each is truly needy, a slacker or con artist, a good street musician or bad, I just give a dollar to anyone asking. It's sort of a combination of fasting and almsgiving and it has broken my heart open -- changed my attitude permanently towards those who beg. ]]></description>
