		<title>Ache</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been thinking a lot about how to love others.  This weekend I traveled to Tallahassee for a dear friend&#8217;s wedding.  Over the course of the weekend I spent some quality time with a few people who have played a major role in my spiritual, intellectual, and emotional development.  Yet at the same time, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Enterprise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am taking a course at Vandy&#8217;s business school about Social Enterprise this semester.  During almost every class I am jumping in my bones with ridiculous excitement about the opportunities in this emerging field!  A social enterprise uses a business approach where the primary focus is to make positive social change, instead of to make [...]]]></description>

		<title>Work, School, Moving, Running, and Friends?!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How does a person who&#8230; works 37.5 hours per week, has 9 credits of grad school course work, is training for a 1/2 marathon on Feb. 13th, and moved into a new house last weekend&#8230; have time to sleep or breath?!  I&#8217;m not sure&#8230; but I&#8217;m desperately trying to figure it out.
I have been told [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aphikoma</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My favorite sacrament of the church is Communion/Eucharist.  I grew up spilling grape juice down my dress and looking forward to the biggest chunk of Hawaiian Bread that they served at the summer camp I attended.  I have heard so many communion meditations (shorter sermons on Communion Sunday to keep the United Methodist&#8217;s happy), but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter Ramblings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three years ago this month I moved to Nashville!  Who lives in Florida their whole life and moves to Tennessee in the middle of winter?!  Me.
The first two winters I spent in a bit of funk wanting nothing more than to come home to a hot bath and blankets!
While I still love my hot baths [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aqedah</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past Thursday in my Hebrew Bible discussion class, we talked about the Aqedah or the binding of Isaac in Gen 22:1-24, where Abraham agrees to sacrifice Isaac per God&#8217;s request without any objection.  Our teaching fellow has never asked a &#8220;faith&#8221; question.  However, in more or less words she asked if this story makes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prayer of the Children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning for Children&#8217;s Sabbath Sunday we sang the song, &#8220;Prayer of the Children&#8221; by Kert Bestor.  We began rehearsing it weeks ago.   Much like all the songs we begin in Church Choir, I expect the theology to be simple and self-centered and music to be generic.  But this time we sang the first lines:

		<title>Mile High View</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Riding on planes has grown on me over the years.  I guess it’s the economist in me that sees the benefit far out weigh the cost.  I am a window seat girl.  I will ALWAYS choose the window over the isle.  The reason is obvious, I love the view.
I think the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Broadway gods are on my side&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday night the national tour of Wicked premiered in Nashville!  I got in line with about 90 other folks in Nashville to win lottery tickets &#8212; 2 front row tickets at $25 each.  I promised my roommate, Ash. B., that if I won one of the nights I would take her for her B-day.
I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>First week at Vanderbilt Divinity School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I step foot in the divinity school I feel like orphan Annie in Daddy Warbuck&#8217;s house.  I want to run through the halls singing, &#8220;I think I&#8217;m gonna like it here!&#8221;  The thing that stops me is a future professor engraving me in their mind forever as the &#8220;first year musical psychopath. &#8221;
I still have [...]]]></description>
