		<description><![CDATA[It's been one of those weeks. The kind that come along every now and then in life, where creation seems to be screaming more than groaning.

This week, a child with Leukemia who we've prayed and fasted for, has taken a turn for the worse. A friend and co-worker at Highland just had his mother pass away, and for reasons that I am not ready to go into today, Leslie and I spent a good part of this week in a hospital room, grieving our own personal stuff.<p><a href="http://stormented.com/2011/12/the-tears-of-christmas/">The Tears of Christmas</a> is a post from: <a href="http://stormented.com">Stormented</a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Frederick Buechner once said "Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid." I think that's exactly right. Christians are at their best when they have one foot in the suffering of this world, and one foot in their hope for the next. They suffer with the world today and celebrate with the world to come. <p><a href="http://stormented.com/2011/10/christians-and-pleasure/">Christians and Pleasure</a> is a post from: <a href="http://stormented.com">Stormented</a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[We live in a culture where to be unhappy is a thing of treason. After all, the pursuit of happiness is literally on our charter. And after a while that stopped just being a line on some document in a museum, and started to become our lives' mission. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for happiness. I love to celebrate, and I think the Christian faith should be pioneering the way in showing the world pure joy.

		<description><![CDATA[This is the holiest week of the Christian calendar. It's the week where we celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. But this holy season comes on the heels of some of the worst natural disasters in recent history. It seems that the world is starting to come unraveled. So what does this week have to say about that?

		<description><![CDATA[A blog re-post from Rob Bell about how he came to be a pastor. It's a story about redemption, and dead end's that turn into 2nd chances. And it has nothing to do with Hell. <p><a href="http://stormented.com/2011/04/a-new-beginning/">A New Beginning</a> is a post from: <a href="http://stormented.com">Stormented</a></p>
