		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it frightens me that I &#8212; in some mutant embodiment of the &#8220;Puritan work ethic&#8221; &#8212; seriously consider emotional and physical burn-out to be a viable option for dealing with a crisis. It&#8217;s right there, on the table next to wiser choices such as &#8220;seek professional counsel&#8221; and &#8220;stop trying to control the outcome [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I married off two siblings this summer, resulting in more people that I love becoming permanent fixtures in my life. While each of their weddings were lovely, I was most excited &#8212; not about the flowers, fanciness, or even the family gathering &#8212; but about everything that would happen after those six hours of vows, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a long time coming, but this month Noel and I have finally been offered wine for communion at our own church. It is amazing &#8212; even unsettling &#8212; how quickly our bodies and minds rewire expectations. After two years of tipping back little cups of Welch&#8217;s finest every Sunday, I had grown to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is telling of my weakness that brief, punchy criticism directed towards my abilities in a none-too-important quadrant of my life can swiftly debilitate me. The specifics of the criticism were really immaterial; all I took away was a panicking sense of self-doubt, a questioning of my calling, and the impulse to cry any time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As April and I reluctantly drove Rachel to the airport on Saturday morning, our buckets &#8212; our metaphorical storage containers for emotion &#8212; started to leak. The part of life where you don&#8217;t get to live with or right next to your best friends is probably a result of the Fall. Noel and I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prior to moving to St. Louis, I probably would not have announced any particular love for cities. I would certainly have told you that rural Idaho was not my schtick. I would probably have even proclaimed that large, mainland suburbs freak me out. Still, I would not have thought to tell you that I wanted [...]]]></description>

I myself have always preferred soccer to the ridiculously torpid pace of baseball, the erratic momentum of American football, and the braggadocio of professional basketball, but I never quite imagined living a life that would include: being personally offended when Brian Ching is not called up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Towards the end of the semester, discussion in my 1930s class rabbit-trailed to more contemporary debates that left me uneasy and rather at odds with the practical outworkings of contemporary theories on race. At it&#8217;s pithiest incarnation, the question was such: should the white, adoptive parents of a Guatemalan child raise that child to know [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few weeks, through the Lenten season, I have been reminded &#8212; joyfully and achingly &#8212; of redemption&#8217;s already and not yet. The &#8220;already&#8221; is breathtaking. Marriages are starting, friends are beginning new ventures, siblings are finding success in their callings. Mary Bell is finally going to Japan. Our small group is growing [...]]]></description>
