					<description><![CDATA[Skeptics will say, how do you know what Jesus said is truth or how do you know he even lived? That could all be "made-up stuff." Agreed. However, the truth lies in his words. He is saying, no matter what I say and do, unless you find out for yourself, truth will not be true to you. And . . . you will continually be enslaved by your own thoughts and beliefs. I can't change that for you; you have to do that yourself.
Jesus is saying, "Discover God for yourself!"]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Coping with the death of a child is heart-wrenching–a death like no
other. It rips the foundation of existence from its base, and tears
away everything that one holds dear. The scene is played over and over
in the mind.   Blame. guilt and helplessness overshadow any sense of
faith one has–yes faith in God.]]></description>

In today&#8217;s world of anger and vitriol, trying to &#8220;fix someone&#8221; whom you feel needs to dissolve hatred, would probably lead to a good &#8220;cussing out&#8221; or other violent responses.
