					<description><![CDATA[I am no longer religious (grew up Methodist and then a practicing Catholic until about 6 years ago), so I spent much time praying. Being more of a spiritual mindset now, I still respect those who pray and believe and who also respect and communicate without judgement. Beautiful article regardless of one&#039;s faith.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I’m not particularly religious, but that really doesn’t matter in regards to this article because there are some excellent points no matter what anyone believes! Forgiveness is so important and it is life changing. Too many people think forgiving someone else means they’re excusing or tolerating a bad behavior. No, it’s really just letting go of the hurt, anger, and hate. I love your analogy of people thinking of Jesus like a genie in a bottle, because far too many see it exactly like that. This was a wonderful interview that I thoroughly enjoyed reading! I’m looking forward to reading your children’s book because it sounds wonderful.]]></description>
