		<description><![CDATA[Notice the Wonder was posted today on the inward/outward website.

		<description><![CDATA[Barbara Kingsolver was interviewed by World Ark, Heifer International&#8217;s bi-monthly magazine, about her newest book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. The book describes her family&#8217;s yearlong pledge to eat only locally-produced foods. In response to a question about &#8220;moments of miracle on this journey,&#8221; Kingsolver replied: For me, the biggest miracle is the fact that this project, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the inward/outward website: Pray, even if you feel nothing, see nothing. For when you are dry, empty, sick or weak, at such a time is your prayer most pleasing to God, even though you may find little joy in it. This is true of all believing prayer. - Julian of Norwich]]></description>

Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that [...]]]></description>
