		<description><![CDATA[	How do you handle disappointment?&#160; For me I don’t like the feelings that come with life not going the way I want it to go.&#160; I must confess that I like being a winner and hence losing causes me to do some serious examination of my life.&#160; I suppose that is the good about disappointments.&#160; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	&#160;&#160; Sundays are a very busy day for me.&#160; Trying to stay focused on the sermon is a lot like tight rope walking.&#160; There are unusual happenings like the air conditioner is not working properly and then there is information that comes my way like my aunt is in the hospital.&#160; I try to keep [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Getting older has some draw-backs and one of the biggest is that change is more difficult.&#160; When I started out in ministry, there were certain expectations.&#160; A robe was always worn at the services and the music was all traditional.&#160; We did not have overhead screens and always sang from a hymnal.&#160; In my&#160;mind, I [...]]]></description>
