		<title>Study: Ailments Improve Marriages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This study done by BYU shows that &#8220;couples who have one member experiencing a decline in health report a happier marriage afterward.&#8221;  When I read this article to Cal his response was, &#8220;Great, so which one of us is willing to take one for the team to improve our marriage?&#8221;  I had a good laugh [...]]]></description>

		<title>Proposition 8 - Someone Who&#8217;s Been There</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the &#8220;experience&#8221; I alluded to in &#8220;Everything They Want&#8221;.
Bethy and I got the following letter in an email prior to the passing of Proposition 8. We found it EXTREMELY insightful and I personally feel a profound respect for the author for being so bravely open and honest so as to shine a light [...]]]></description>

		<title>Joy to the World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the neatest video! The photography is amazing. I love that this video (made by my alma madder- yeah!) reminds me that I am part of a global family, and that we are really all the same in our purpose- young and old, rich and poor, free or bonded. The purpose? Finding joy in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Everything They Want</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago I was attending UNLV as a vocal performance major. At the beginning of the semester I met another student who was a piano performance major and shared my passion for music.  Since I was in need of an accompanist and he was required to find a vocal major to accompany, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marriage for everyone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My sister-in-law emailed this video link and I died laughing!  It feels just like the kind of video you&#8217;d gather round and laugh about with your family, especially in light of all the recent controversy.  Enjoy!

		<title>Where I Stand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an entry I wrote in ‘Our Corner&#8217; I mentioned the debate on the definition of ‘Family.&#8217; I wanted to give another aspect of my point of view on the matter, and it seems more appropriate to do it here in ‘The Family Room.&#8217;
I believe the debate we are seeing in the world around us [...]]]></description>

		<title>I lie, cheat and steal, but I&#8217;m still a good person</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw a piece on the news last night about high school students and cheating. A national survey on honesty and ethics was given to 30,000 students in high schools across the U.S.  As was reported, &#8216;the results paint a troubling picture of our future politicians and parents, cops and corporate executives, and journalists [...]]]></description>

		<title>Most Powerful Women</title>
		<description><![CDATA[http://www.welt.de/english-news/article2373051/Forbes-list-2008.html
I saw a link to this article but was disappointed when I looked through all of the top one hundred and didn&#8217;t find one picture of Bethy! All of these women were considered the &#8220;most powerful&#8221; for their ability to talk, sell things, or tell other people what to do (granted, I&#8217;m over simplifying).
I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
