		<description><![CDATA[From this Christian Post article on June 22, 2008, a pastor in Indiana rode around on a dirt bike during his sermon preaching, lost control, crashed, and was sent to the hospital for a fractured or broken wrist. Nothing is mentioned if he was able to finish the sermon or not, but my guess is that he didn&#8217;t. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, I had written about the SBC&#8217;s brooding over declining baptisms. Well, according to the June 10, 2008 USA Today article, the SBC continues to snivel over it.

		<description><![CDATA[Eric Redmonds, in his July 11, 2008 blog, keenly observes that the big reasons minorities would want to vote for Obama as the next President of the United States are:

Identity: &#8221;Finally, we&#8217;re considered American.&#8221;
