		<title>Jesus loves me&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been told many times God loves me, but that was a hard pill to swallow when I understood the bible to say I had to earn that love.

		<title>Daily life is Spiritual</title>

		<title>Wow moments with God!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ephesians. Where do I begin?? I have learned so much about identity and unity. About how we should live as one in Christ. One=unity.. as a family of God. In Christ = identity, Who am I? I am God&#8217;s child, he chose me before the foundation of the world to be blameless before him in [...]]]></description>
