		<description><![CDATA[Each year, at this time, we lament the commercialism of the Holy Season. But what do most of us (and I mean us, including myself) do about it? We go ahead and purchase to our limit with little caveats that make us feel good. You know what I mean: buying from local hometown businesses rather<a href="http://practicalinspirations.com/2010/12/gift-giving/"> [Read the full story ...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of year again. You know . . . visions of sugar plums and all that. Days filled with family gatherings, warm fires, singing of carols, and bah humbug. Don&#8217;t get me wrong. I do enjoy the holidays. Even more now that the pressure of Sunday School plays and my mother&#8217;s critique of<a href="http://practicalinspirations.com/2010/11/ahhh-the-holidays/"> [Read the full story ...]</a>]]></description>

I don&#8217;t think many of my fellow early voters do<a href="http://practicalinspirations.com/2010/10/vote-early-vote-often/"> [Read the full story ...]</a>]]></description>

The nearby Baptist church we are attending is tiny and most of the attendees are cattle ranchers. My husband Bob was chatting with a couple of these ranchers before service and one said, “We<a href="http://practicalinspirations.com/2010/10/water-is-life/"> [Read the full story ...]</a>]]></description>

The conditions must have been worse than Sodom and Gommorah because there&#8217;s no indication there was even one righteous person. But God loved these folks enough to send the prophet Jonah with a proclamation of destruction<a href="http://practicalinspirations.com/2010/09/have-you-prayed-for-a-muslim-today/"> [Read the full story ...]</a>]]></description>
