		<description><![CDATA[About twice a year I hear someone describe another as 'generous to a fault'. It is a saying that is often used during speeches at funerals and weddings.

It is a backhanded compliment that could only be stated (honestly) by someone who is skeptical of generosity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like the Seattle airport. Free WiFi and comfy chairs. Half of our team are asleep in the comfy chairs. It&#8217;s all that we need. We are getting in to Nashville tonight at about 6pm, and will be home for about 44 hrs before we trundle off to Africa and South America for three more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night I slept under the stars with our eldest son, Isaac (4). It was a great night of alleged monster appearances and bush whizzing on our favorite tree. This morning I stumbled off the trampoline as a guy who had just clocked 9-years of marital bliss&#8230; and it feels great. The first time I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nashville is an interesting town. There are so many intelligent, hot and available 33 year olds who haven’t or won’t get married. Is it fear? Too much pollen? Or has marriage become decidedly un-cool to these post-modern hipsters? I don’t know… My 23 year-old cousin got engaged on Saturday night to the girl of his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Smallbone family were at a Super Bowl party on Sunday when I realized that our ‘Prodigal Ukulele’ was sitting on the top shelf beside the host’s television. (As a literary footnote it must be noted that the word prodigal actually means &#8216;wasteful&#8217; rather than &#8216;missing&#8217;). This is not just a broken child’s toy; rather [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These two truths I believe are self-evident: a)      My wife is smoking hot. b)      I have a great marriage. The events of the Tiger Woods saga have proven once and for all that the relationship between (a) and (b) is anything but causal. As each year passes, I am increasingly surrounded by friends in unhappy [...]]]></description>

During my 4 years on Campus at the University of Queensland I was a strict teetotaler. I really did imagine that my mates were thinking &#8216;Man&#8230; Matty Smallbone doesn&#8217;t need beer to have fun. Maybe I should consider this [...]]]></description>
