		<description><![CDATA[Writing done well, I believe, is art. Most writing is not art anymore, and some that is art isn&#8217;t necessarily good art. In a utilitarian world perhaps we can do without words that aspire to art, and art altogether for that matter, along perhaps with any words other than those necessary to explain how the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During our recent vacation at Table Rock Lake in Missouri, my family and I spent some time in Branson, the entertainment capital of redneck, red-blooded, red-letter Christian America. We caught a showing of Noah, The Musical. It was everything you might imagine, much more of it good than I expected, the worst a surprise appearance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have deliberately abstained from consuming Michael Jackson death coverage. That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s become now; even a disgusted abstainer like me can see that&#8212;a marketed delicacy. I don&#8217;t even know what the &#8220;news&#8221; media (the very word evokes the image of glittering baubles served up not because they are healthful or helpful, but because they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a tough row to hoe, making the case that Jesus is a capitalist. For example, there is the fact that the first church appears to have adopted voluntary socialism. And that business about seeking not the treasures of this world&#8212;that hasn&#8217;t stopped conservatives from spilling gallons of ink to refine our understanding about the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard a very wise man of God talk about abundance. Don&#8217;t think, he admonished, that you have a nice home and fancy clothes because you work hard; there are plenty of people who work hard and have very little. Everything good is a blessing from God, he observed, but don&#8217;t conclude from your more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps it&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve recently abandoned the teaching of Calvinistic predestination that I am so troubled when I hear about the death of someone like Michael Jackson. There are a great many soul-sick people in the world, and we know that no temptation comes upon anyone except what is common to man, but still there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every good Christian knows he&#8217;s supposed to label himself a sinner and go on in vague terms about his wickedness, so consequently it doesn&#8217;t mean much to say that I am a sinful person. Sometimes it can have the inverse effect&#8212;the more someone decries his sinfulness, the more an illusion of sainthood is generated. After [...]]]></description>

I may have messed up a lot of things as a husband, I would tell myself, but at least I&#8217;m a good father. I figure not every man&#8217;s sin looks like mine, but in my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a very good friend, and so there&#8217;s irony in being asked by an editor at The Wall Street Journal to write something about modern friendships. Then again, I&#8217;m sure the devil himself knows all the saints especially well.
I am neither a good friend in the particulars nor in general. As to the particulars, [...]]]></description>
