		<title>Myriad&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is so much going on that it is actually very difficult for me to find a subject on which to comment. I&#8217;ll take a bit of personal privilege just to say a bit about my own personal struggle/growth/decisions as of late.  As an African American male, I have been working through my own self-identification [...]]]></description>

		<title>Depraved Because Deprived</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Those lines from West Side Story&#8217;s rollicking song, &#8220;Office Krupke&#8221;  have come back to tease me over the decades since I first heard them. Are we depraved because we&#8217;re deformed? Or because we&#8217;re deprived?  Some Christians, given their understanding of original sin and our fallen nature, would hold to &#8220;deformed.&#8221;  I suspect that that&#8217;s an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Elizabeth Bukey: Dr. Machado, who organized our pilgrimage to the border, is fond of telling students how important maps are. They can help us understand why wars were fought, the value of certain locations, and, often, tell us something about the mapmaker’s worldview. Certainly the map I found on a postcard in San Antonio [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Desired Change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the early morning we gathered together, watched and listened to our stories.  A morning mist rose as the sun broke through the rising dew.  As we walked our bodies split the clouds.  Placed next to a Texas highway, we proceeded through the stations of the cross.  The Basilica de San Juan falls in a [...]]]></description>
