		<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[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[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[The things you do carry much more weight than the things you say. St. Francis of Assisi put it best when he said, &#8220;Preach the gospel at all times. Used words when necessary.&#8221; What are the implications of that? Did you know you can be preach without talking? There&#8217;s nothing more evangelistic than a life that is obviously sold out to Jesus. All the teaching and preaching in the world won&#8217;t outweigh the actions of the faithful. I&#8217;ve been preached &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/use-words-when-necessary/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A constant is a good thing. I mean, so often in life there are times when we wish things would just remain steady for a while &#8211; am I right? This is true of many areas of our lives. In our finances, many of us (myself included) seem to go through good and bad spurts. There are the good ones where we can breathe deep, relax, and set our financial cruise control for a while. But then something hits and &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/we-need-a-constant/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I was having lunch with a couple of friends/coworkers. I got up to go grab some dessert, and realized that my friend Scott was sitting at the table next to me, and had been for nearly the entire time I&#8217;d been sitting there. However, my focus was aimed so much at the people at my table, I didn&#8217;t notice him at all. I think often times we&#8217;re like this with God. Since Jesus may not be in our direct &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/who-might-be-sitting-next-to-you/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few random things running through my head this morning as we approach the weekend&#8230; This weekend is the FIRST time we&#8217;ll be using a click track and loops at Vertical Worship. That probably doesn&#8217;t mean a lot to many people, but essentially, this is the framework for a major upgrade to an already awesome worship experience. Also, we&#8217;ll be starting a SECOND full service! Service times will now be at 9am &#038; 11am. We start a brand new series &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/firsts-and-seconds/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey everyone &#8211; I&#8217;m back after a brief blog-hiatus. Honestly, it was a great thing for me. Allowed me some time to clear my head, re-prioritize my time, and focus more on the right things. Good stuff. A couple of things that happened during that time: I finished my &#8220;Bible in 90 Days&#8221; Reading Plan from YouVersion. It was an UNBELIEVABLE experience, though probably not one I&#8217;ll do again. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but let me explain. &#8230; <a href="http://www.jonlloyd.com/2011/back-to-the-blog-with-random-thoughts/" >&#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>
