Then&#8230;
I clicked on a tweet about Layla.
My life was instantly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Win a Copy of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently we went to see this adorable movie at the dollar theater. I was not sure what to expect. I was unimpressed with the previews, however, there are only so many kids movies, so I knew I would wind up seeing it. ROFL!
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out of the Box Christians</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been pondering something one of our pastors talked about this past week. He was talking about evangelism, the church as a whole and our roles as individuals in leading the lost to Christ. He made a powerful statement that I think deserves a blog post.
He basically said that there is nothing sadder then [...]]]></description>

		<title>Linky Love Links Day: 01/21/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I created this meme a couple years ago. It started out as “Thursday’s Links” and then it became what it is now, “Linky Love Links Day.” I changed it because I did not want to do it EVERY Thursday and I also did not want to limit it to Thursdays. So…now, I do it whenever [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Not the Same Without Paula&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to love watching American Idol. Sadly, with Paula gone, I am not sure I will remain a watcher. So far they have had some nice guest judges&#8230;however, it is NOT the same as Paula. There was the whole dynamic of her and Simon as well as her sweetness. It&#8217;s just not the same.

		<title>Commercials, Poor Media Tactics &#8230; and Our Kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am getting to the point where I really just want to have no commercial television. Back when television was new, they would advertise the product during the show.

Especially when [...]]]></description>
