	<description>Better to sit at the waters&#039; birth, than a sea of waves to win; To live in the love that floweth forth, Than the love that cometh in. Be thy heart a well of love, my child, Flowing, and free, and sure; For a cistern of love, though undefiled, keeps not the spirit pure.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just like every mother, ever, I derive great joy from my children&#8217;s art. Aveline is 6 and conveys such profound beauty through her drawings, and what is so wonderful to realize is that the beauty, the love, the imagination . . . is her. It comes straight from her singular, precious heart. In light of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  It&#8217;s 7:15 AM and I&#8217;ve just returned from a long walk.  It is rare that I should awaken early enough and with enough gusto to take such a jaunt, but oh how glad I am that this was such a morning.    I&#8217;ve been experiencing a deep longing for God.  A longing that brings [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I derived much inspiration from this commentary. One thing I find especially pertinent about it is that Matthew Henry does not refer to Eve’s “curse” as a curse, at all, nor as a “punishment” either, but rather as a sentence. God’s design for childbirth is perfect, perfect way beyond our understanding of it. There are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to share this funny story, while it&#8217;s fresh.This morning I was rough-housing on our bed with my almost six year old son, Jonny. Aveline (my three year old daughter, pictured above) was in on the action, too. Jonny bonked my nose hard enough for the play to have to cease while I recovered. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am writing in response to Alyssa Colton&#8217;s article, The Language of Birth. I&#8217;d first of all like to say that the message of her article is absolutely essential, period.
