		<title>Success by Controversy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The cliche &#8220;There&#8217;s no such thing as bad publicity&#8221; certainly has been stretched lately. Twitter seems to have no shortage of these moments. Young Adult lit is under constant fire (I will attempt to address that tomorrow). The book &#8220;Go the ____ (expletive) to sleep&#8221; is being discussed. And one certainly cannot miss the latest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fail Big</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life isn&#8217;t always perfect. With all due respect to Ed Harris&#8217;s character in Apollo 11 &#8230; failure is always an option. As a central Ohioan and a former Ohio State student (albeit for only a year), I am  a die hard Buckeye fan &#8230; particularly when it comes to football. I did say die hard [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gatekeeping Parents (re WSJ)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Those who have arrived here from Twitter have no doubt seen the flood of responses at Meghan Cox Gordon&#8217;s controversial editorial rant in the Wall Street Journal. If you have not read it for yourself, please do so here before proceeding. All done? Thoughts? Opinions? There&#8217;s a lot of them floating around Ms. Gordon&#8217;s multipronged [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Great Commission</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I had the honor of delivering the benediction and sending 32 seniors from Gahanna Christian Academy on their way. In trying to find the right words, I borrowed some from St. Francis of Assisi. May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep [...]]]></description>

		<title>Giving a Not-Nice Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday, the half of the Creative Minds Collective not at MARCon, gathered at Java&#8216;s Cafe in Gahanna in the name of discussing our writing craft We discussed the Bones series finale (sucked hard boiled eggs through a twisty straw), books we&#8217;ve read (previewing a novel for a Tweep), and &#8230; oh yeah &#8230; some [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tale of Two Soldiers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Probably the worst thing anyone has said about &#8220;ShadowLight&#8221; is that they didn&#8217;t expect the ending. Now, I don&#8217;t want to give away the ending, but a huge theme of the novel is &#8220;sacrifice.&#8221; Sacrifice: To forfeit (one thing) for another thing considered to be of greater value. Our lives are marked by sacrifice. Students [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Press The Button</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t Press the Button: it seems to be a fitting lesson for my first blog. Having spent the last 3 days trying to redo my website from scratch following a complete and total catastrophic destruction of the old one. I blame it on someone who doesn&#8217;t know what he&#8217;s doing playing around with the various [...]]]></description>

		<title>Under Construction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The old website underwent a catastrophic crash when a certain writer though himself to be website designer. Steps are being taken to rectify the situation.
