		<description><![CDATA[At least Craig Venter is honest in saying his team didn&#8217;t create life from scratch, even if some of the media are getting carried away with it.  He has an interesting result, for sure, but even the statement that they have synthesized man-made DNA is a little suspect to my mind.  Everything I&#8217;ve read says quite plainly that their genetic code is based on information contained in already existing genetic databases.   The experiment gives a little more understanding that &#8220;life&#8221; is more than a specific sequence of DNA instructions, but what exactly is it?  The instructions (the operating system) or the machinery (the computer) or something else? Neither the DNA nor the cell structure can &#8220;live&#8221; apart from each other, but Mr. Venter has definitely proved that, at least in this case, with a little tweaking you can switch Windows 7 for OS X and still have a working computer. I still remember one of the first Christian radio programs I was exposed to after the miraculous radio station change in December 1997 &#8211; R. C. Sproul&#8217;s Renewing Your Mind.  The very first series that came on the next time I was driving to work for a total of 6 days (Monday through Friday, then Monday &#8211; I could hardly wait for that weekend to be over because I wanted to hear the &#8220;clincher&#8221; of the argument so bad) was called &#8220;Creation or Chaos.&#8221;  The question R.C. asked that still rings in my mind was, &#8220;How do you get life....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grilled chicken, rice, pork and beans, and fries. Coke is coke all around the world. Rachael got hold of my phone for a minute and did a lovely self-portait. The gentleman sitting next to Rachael, Djoca, is one of our taxi drivers. He needs to be saved. Our other driver, Tatino, received Christ yesterday. Update: Djoca came to the church service on our second Monday night. It was a strong Gospel message, but it appeared that Djoca was going to leave without responding. I asked him if I could show him the picture I had drawn while I was still an atheist, and asked Claudio, one of the Brazilians on the trip, to translate for me. Djoca understood the meaning of the picture right away and said that he was ready to have the darkness taken away from his heart. Claudio talked to him from that point on, and he soon bowed his head and received Christ. Friday night, he brought his son, who also responded to the invitation. More on Djoca later.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got a couple. First is Psalm 40:2-3 because that&#8217;s the story of what God through faith in Jesus Christ&#8217;s death and resurrection has done for me. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. My second is 1 John 3:2. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. Here&#8217;s the story I submitted for the One Year Life Verse Devotional, which will be published next year. Check back to see if I&#8217;ll have my 15 minutes of fame. During my last two years of high school, I attended church with one of my high school teachers, Mr. G., and his family. Mr. G. would listen to my teenage troubles, and say &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry. You&#8217;ll get there.&#8221; After graduation, I joined the Navy and lost contact with Mr. G. for many years. During that time, I became an atheist and spent the next 18 years totally apart from God. But no matter how bad things seemed, I would always hear Mr. G. saying, &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry. You&#8217;ll get there.&#8221; Sometimes that was the only hope....]]></description>
