He was made man in time, 
although through him all times were made. 
He was made man, who made man.
He was created of a mother whom he created.
He was carried by hands that he formed. 
He cried in the manger in wordless infancy, he the Word,
without whom [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is always interesting, puzzling, and frustrating, that even though you try to be as clear as you can about a covenant and its expectations, some just choose to ignore it, defining it in their own way, conditioning it along the way, cheapening the meaning for themselves, lessening the weight of its intended purpose for the relationship it applies [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How tedious and tasteless the hours
When Jesus no longer I see!
Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers,
Have all lost their sweetness to me:
The midsummer sun shines but dim,
the fields strive in vain to look gay;
But when I am happy in Him,
December&#8217;s as pleasant as May.
John Newton

It was a default judgement since she didn&#8217;t show up or respond to any requests from his lawyer. It is a sad story of a failed marriage with plenty of reasons [...]]]></description>
