		<description><![CDATA[There is one who scatters, yet increases all the more, And there is one who withholds what is justly due, but it results only in want. The generous man will be prosperous, And he who waters will himself be watered. (Proverbs 11:24-25) In today&#8217;s economic climate, many people are clutching their money and resources tightly [...]]]></description>

But this spring, she and I have been coaching a Little League softball team of 12-year-olds. She&#8217;s the coach, and I&#8217;m the assistant coach. Like so many coaches [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been learning a good deal about grace lately, except from the other side. I&#8217;m the one who&#8217;s granting the grace; my daughter is the one who is receiving it.
