		<title>Jon Stewart works to save the world&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shock and disbelief&#8230; Jon Stewart is dropping the laughs and completely working to create more honesty and help us normal citizens by calling people out LIVE. 
Wow&#8230; I&#8217;m truly impressed&#8230;
This is seriously embarrassing for Jim Cramer, a supposed financial expert who is supposedly &#8220;on our side&#8221;&#8230; Jon Stewart practically puts him in a headlock with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=67&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Honestly&#8230; I&#8217;m just really sick of my life being chaos&#8230; Clinging to the truth that You stay true when my world is false&#8230; even when everything around&#8217;s always breaking down to chaos&#8230; 
Complication is my claim to fame
I can’t believe there’s another, constantly just another
and I can’t avoid what I can’t control
I’m losing ground, still [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=65&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>::The Wilderness::</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Please read all of this because its amazing. :) I have written down part of a sermon by Paul Matthies at The Village Church (the church I attend, you can get the sermons through iTunes podcast: The Village Church sermons. I highly recommend it! :)). This sermon is the third part of his &#8220;Only the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=64&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Honesty tonight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My eyes are burning
and threatening tears
Are You there?
Do You care?
I sigh as I hear nothing
Knowing I have probably
pushed Him so far out
to the limits
of my self-built
&#8220;safety zone&#8221;
&#8220;He isn&#8217;t safe,
but He&#8217;s good.&#8221;
I fear the silence
Not wanting to be honest with myself
why I do
I fear I won&#8217;t hear You
I fear I&#8217;m alone
So I fill every orifice
with clutter
and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=61&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hate nights like this where I just feel so&#8230; indescribable. 
Or maybe its that I know exactly why I&#8217;m feeling this way and I hate it&#8230; I hate that these things still bother me, still hurt me so deeply&#8230;
Why do I have to be wounded? Why won&#8217;t they go away? Why don&#8217;t people who [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=59&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I Need Africa More Than Africa Needs Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello my friends! :) I know a lot of you have asked about my trip to Africa two years ago and I would explain the best I could, but I could never put my experience into words the way this woman did in her blog. Africa is still far better experienced than talked about (because [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=54&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Why I love all types of art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;(Art)&#8230; rescues us from our self chosen triviality, to which we are so prone. It is like a deep organ note that makes my hair stir and a shiver run through me. I &#8216;pull back&#8217; from life, like a camera taking a long shot with a wide angle lens. I quite simply become aware of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=51&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A poem I just wrote concerning my thoughts about God lately&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;re so strange
the moves You make
the ways You save
Always unconventional
You&#8217;re so intriguing
the way You&#8217;re just You
no apologies
yet Your true essence is love
You never stop
You never sleep
Thats so unique
My human brain cannot comprehend it
I often feel confused
by Your moves
but checkmate,
their always perfect
Hindsight is 20/20
so they say
and so I see
with You and me
©Mandy

		<title>To someone who will probably never read this&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I both love and hate when a song just reminds you so much of something painful thats happened to you&#8230; 
You speak of love
But you ain&#8217;t no lover
You were a friend
More like a brother
As the miles pass beneath me
The sounds made so sweetly came to an end
&#8230;but now you&#8217;re a liar
And you&#8217;ve no room left [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=44&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The reason why</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think about how it might have been
We&#8217;d spend our days travelin&#8217;
It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t understand you
It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
And we can hang our heads down
As we skip the goodbyes
And [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=42&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Finally Breathing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow&#8230; I feel like I can finally breathe again&#8230; This whole summer I have been struggling to breathe, gasping for breath even, but not in a physical way (even though I do have asthma). I have felt so suffocated, confused, paralyzed, deeply hurt, and responsible. 
The last word may sound like a good thing: responsible. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=36&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>We Americans We People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading this blog ( http://psalmonethirtynine.blogspot.com/2008/06/marketing-of-christianity.html ) and saw this prayer written below. We as Americans, we as people, all need to pray this prayer. I know I do. I know we are destined to do God wrong, but that doesn&#8217;t make me feel better after I have done so. He is so good. We are [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=30&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>An Ode to the homeless, the down and out, and the judged</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am currently cleaning my room and I have the radio on. Suddenly this song comes on by Everlast that I have heard a dozen times but this time I really heard it.
One thing that absolutely breaks my heart and enrages me at the same time is how people treat the homeless, the down and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=26&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>We all have wood and nails.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Jesus Christ, that&#8217;s a pretty face
The kind you&#8217;d find on someone that could save
If they don&#8217;t put me away
Well, it&#8217;ll be a miracle
Do you believe you&#8217;re missing out
That everything good is happening somewhere else?
But with nobody in your bed
The night&#8217;s hard to get through
And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won&#8217;t know [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stateofwonderment.wordpress.com&blog=4257428&post=14&subd=stateofwonderment&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
