		<title>Devastation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have realized recently that I have no control over my life.  I had medical tests done and I had bad reports for both—possible uterine cancer and a growth in my breast.  I thought about the people who had died within a matter of months of finding out that they had a rapid spreading cancer— [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=teresa4christ.wordpress.com&blog=521891&post=117&subd=teresa4christ&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Forgiveness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have always told people that forgiveness means you hold no feeling of revenge for a person who has hurt you.  I know it is difficult for people to verbally forgive someone who has deeply hurt them so I tell them that it is not necessary to do that in order to forgive.  Of course [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=teresa4christ.wordpress.com&blog=521891&post=115&subd=teresa4christ&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content. But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is at the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=teresa4christ.wordpress.com&blog=521891&post=108&subd=teresa4christ&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Planning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“The law of Moses could not save us, because of our sinful nature. But God put into effect a different plan to save us. He sent his own Son in a human body like ours, except that ours are sinful. God destroyed sin&#8217;s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=teresa4christ.wordpress.com&blog=521891&post=100&subd=teresa4christ&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Ezekiel 15:2-5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Son of man, how does a grapevine compare to a tree?
Is a vine&#8217;s wood as useful as the wood of a tree?
Can its wood be used for making things, like pegs to hang up pots and pans?
No, it can only be used for fuel, and even as fuel, it burns too quickly.
Vine branches are useless [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=teresa4christ.wordpress.com&blog=521891&post=94&subd=teresa4christ&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Genesis 19 is the account of Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction.  Prior to the destruction, Abraham asks God to spare the cities, and after much deliberation on Abraham’s part, God agrees to spare it if ten righteous people can be found in it.  Lot, Abraham’s nephew, lives in Sodom with his wife and two daughters.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=teresa4christ.wordpress.com&blog=521891&post=84&subd=teresa4christ&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
