		<title>Origin of Left and Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the &#8220;right&#8221; And Liberals are called the &#8220;left.&#8221; &#8216; By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible: &#8220;The heart of the wise inclines to the right, But the heart of the fool to the left.&#8221; Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) Thus sayeth the Lord.

		<title>A Christmas Poem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, My daughter beside me, angelic in rest. Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, Transforming the yard to a winter delight.

		<description><![CDATA[I was looking up the history of putting handles on cups, on Google the other day, and ran across the terms BCE and CE describing the dates the handle thing started (in the Neolithic era).  Puzzled, I looked up the two sets of initials and found out the following information: Definition of BCE: Abbreviation for [...]]]></description>
