		<description><![CDATA[I was standing in line at a local store last week, and as I was waiting there, I noticed that this particular store had a shelf, probably 10 feet long, as you stood in line waiting to checkout. On this shelf was every piece of religious nonsense I&#8217;ve ever seen. Have you ever seen any of these things? For example &#8211; one of the most common things are the mints. I&#8217;ve seen them called different things. These were called &#8220;Spiritmints,&#8221; &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2012/when-reality-falls-through-the-cracks/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[God has been teaching me about boldness over the last few months. I just want to share with you today a few things I believe He has been teaching me about this character trait; some of the things I&#8217;m wrestling with right now. As I see it, there are a number of areas of our lives where boldness is needed. Let&#8217;s look at three of them today. I&#8217;ll cover three more tomorrow. I&#8217;ll go with a first-person perspective here: BOLD &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2012/bold-part-one/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For me, it was the toilet seat. There&#8217;s a back story here. See, I don&#8217;t really like the combination of different-sized polka dots and someone&#8217;s initials written in Curlz font where the last initial is in the middle of the others (which I still don&#8217;t get). This may be your thing, so no offense if it is. I just don&#8217;t like them. Maybe it&#8217;s because they&#8217;ve become ubiquitous. They&#8217;re everywhere. Mailboxes. License plates. Front doors. Grill covers. Cell phone cases. Articles &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/dont-forget-the-gifts/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love these commercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh3XDMzcdtU And truthfully, there have been countless times in my life where I&#8217;ve just wanted to get away. Away from the hustle and bustle. Away from the circumstances. Away from&#8230; everything. It&#8217;s a fact that human tendency is to withdraw from tough situations. I mean, no one wants to be in the middle of chaos, and I&#8217;m guilty of wanting to take the easiest possible way out, which means running quickly in the opposite direction.

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever been worn out, tired, exhausted, etc? Obvious answer there. But isn&#8217;t it interesting that so many times we take some time, get some rest, yet still feel exhausted? Ever been there? I have. My wife and I took a vacation recently. It was just the two of us &#8211; no kids. This rarely happens&#8230; meaning never. We left feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, tired, and desperate for rest. While on our trip, we got some physical rest. We slept &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/get-some-rest/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m about to make some people mad. But I can&#8217;t take it anymore. Black Friday. Let&#8217;s talk about it. Last year, I wrote a brief post here on the blog about this but never posted it. I thought, maybe this is too much. It&#8217;s actually still sitting in my Drafts folder. But anyway&#8230; Cue the violin. Yes, I want some cheese with my whine. Yadda yadda yadda. I understand that people want to save money. I GET IT.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;continued from part two God&#8217;s ways are not our own. That&#8217;s for sure. I told Mike and Brandon (I hadn&#8217;t really had much interaction with Donnie or Joey yet) that I would be willing to help out with worship as they got everything started with Vertical, but it couldn&#8217;t interfere with my work at my current church. I went to support the guys at an interest meeting they had at the local bowling alley on August 22, 2010.

If you don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s up with Vertical Church&#8217;s &#8220;Share the Love&#8221; campaign, you can read more about it over on Pastor Mike&#8217;s blog. So many people have already shared amazing stories of how they have shared the love of Jesus this week (and by the way, it&#8217;s only Tuesday). I wanted to share a particular story that I received from my friend and fellow VGroup member, Ryan. &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/share-the-love-story-by-ryan-stone/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;temporarily. Facebook, Twitter, blogging, and other social media have started to take up a significant role in my life, and I&#8217;ve decided to give it all a rest for a while. There are mainly two reasons for doing this. It&#8217;s taking up valuable time. As a father and husband, my family time is priceless. When I sit at a meal with my wife and I&#8217;m staring at my phone checking my Facebook messages and notifications, I&#8217;m losing valuable moments that &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/why-im-leaving-facebook/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. &#8211; 1 Corinthians 6:20 (ESV) Let&#8217;s talk about that verse for a second. Many of us have heard this verse before, but when we read it in context, we learn that Paul is using this while talking about sexual sin. But I believe that the inspired words of God transcend ordinary interpretation. So, with that understanding, let me tell you about a decision I made to fulfill &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/to-glorify-with-ink/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>
