		<title>Idiosyncrasies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Cyndi
The other night I was helping my son study for a vocabulary test, and I have to admit, there were some words on the list that I didn’t know. But one which I did know was idiosyncrasy. What a great word. Isn’t it fun just to say it? It has a unique feel about [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Crossing of Emotional Boundaries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day Robert and I were going to go grab a bite to eat for lunch. He suggested a sandwich shop or a pizza place, but I was in the mood for Chinese food. After a brief discussion, we ended up getting Chinese take-out. I knew what I had wanted so I stated it [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Shame to Dignity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s all about shame
Shame &#8211; there&#8217;s something wrong with me. If we had no shame we would be confident to live intentionally without striving.

When I do Prayer Ministry with a client there is a key shift that happens. We work through some painful event where the person was very hurt. As we get to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hard or Soft?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Cyndi
How do we Christians come across to the world around us? What do our friends, family, and co-workers think about our Christianity? Do we display the attributes of Christ in our daily lives? I was challenged by these questions just the other day and wondered how I appear to the people I meet every [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meekness Is the Passkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Closed Theological System
One of my main mentors was Jack Frost. When I first came to work with him I had a somewhat closed theological system. I had a set of fixed ideas about God and doctrine and I was not that open to anything that went outside my box. Jack was very different.
Teachable and Diligent
He [...]]]></description>

		<title>Intimacy&#8211;the Development of Personhood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Robert
The development  of personhood is a powerful concept in helping us move towards maturity and  intimacy in all our relationships. This concept (the state or condition of being  a person) has gripped me. The idea that it can be diminished through abuse and  developed through respect explains many things. When [...]]]></description>

By Robert 
Understanding how triangles work puts a powerful growth tool in your hands. Anxieties are a part of life. Maybe my job status is insecure; perhaps that ache in my body is a serious health issue. What if the United States economy collapses and there are interruptions in the food [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life Is A Marathon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The older I get, the more I see that life is all about endurance, not quick fixes. This is not to say it is about just getting by or coasting, no; it is about seeing a mountain in front of you and taking on the challenge to climb it, even if you know it will take [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Power to Take Initiative</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Robert
What would your life be like if you never procrastinated? What  could you accomplish if you had the ability to step out and try anything you  wanted? There are reasons people get stuck in ruts. Most of us have gone down  the &#8220;try harder&#8221; route so many times we have lost [...]]]></description>

		<title>Empathy &#8211; The Key to Overcoming Sin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1 Tim 4:2—speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron.
The subject of conscience and empathy is quite fascinating. On the far bad end of the scale you have the sociopath, who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience. Their chief characteristic is a lack of empathy because they [...]]]></description>
