		<description><![CDATA[Happy Birthday to the Church, nearly 2000 years old. Today the home church did Divine Service 3 out of LSB, and among the hymns we sang 489, &#8220;Hail Thee, Festival Day.&#8221; I was drafted to sing the hymn with a microphone to lead the congregation. 
Also, Happy Mother&#8217;s Day to Mom and the Mother-in-Law, both [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dan: What do you think about the Peak Oil theory?
I actually StumbledTM across a Peak Oil web site two weeks ago. It is actually very good in detailing what kinds of things are made from petroleum. Peak Oil theory has two tenets which have some merit: first, that there is a limited amount of oil [...]]]></description>

Scott at DSvS has gotten into the habit of asking why LCMS people can raise a ruckus about the firing of a radio talk show host and producer but not raise a ruckus about other topics. 
One answer arises from our own faults. We are too easily fatigued by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The article from Street Insider is almost too short to quote for fair use:
Furthermore, Chevron announced that it expects to spend approximately $2.5 billion from 2007 through 2009 in alternative and renewable energy technologies.
That can&#8217;t make Obama and Clinton happy.  They don&#8217;t get to confiscate those &#8220;windfall profits&#8221; and plow them into their own [...]]]></description>

Chuck Baldwin, a Baptist minister from Florida and radio talk show host, secured the Constitution Party&#8217;s entry for President of the United States. To his credit he put out a nice, direct statement of what he would do were he President. 
As a matter of principle, I cringe when a pastor/minister/representative [...]]]></description>

Use of CCTV images for court evidence has so far been very poor, according to Detective Chief Inspector Mick Neville, the officer in charge of the Metropolitan police unit. &#8220;CCTV was originally seen as a preventative measure,&#8221; Neville told the [...]]]></description>

Technically he was using the software OK, but his proposal made no sense. He was selling cement with additives for the same price as cement with no additives. It was similar to [...]]]></description>

In the first edition of this post, explicit references made some readers uncomfortable and were not necessary to the point, so those references have been removed.
There is a Lutheran blog called Priestmanship [...]]]></description>

&#8220;The view was to look to alternatives and try to become more dependent on the Midwest than the Middle East. I mean, that was the theory. Obviously, sometimes there are unforeseen or [...]]]></description>

Example:
