(Funk and Wagnalls Standard Desk Dictionary)
We finally did it!  We talked my grandmother into exploring the possibility of getting eye surgery for her cataracts.  It was tough.  She was convinced that her vision was fine and the cataracts were no problem but we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I wrote about curriculum decisions and how we must decide
what to teach based on what the kids NEED rather than what we enjoy

		<description><![CDATA[One of the really, really important aspects of youth ministry is developing relationships with the teens who come to your ministry. There are certainly many students who are quick and willing to make relationships with adults and talk and talk and talk and tell you more than you ever wanted to know.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the very important tasks of the youth leader is the planning
and implementation of curriculum.
I realize that this process may be very different from church to
church. Some churches have Christian Education professionals or
committees whom decide on curriculums for all ages.
Other churches, particularly in their Sunday school, will adhere to
a quarterly, often denominationally published. Still, [...]]]></description>
