					<description><![CDATA[FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT What can a baby do? “Not much!” would seem to be the obvious answer. A newborn cannot walk or speak or send a text. Much of early infancy is spent in eating and sleeping. Yet there is one thing babies can do better than almost anyone else.

					<description><![CDATA[Whether it is believed or not, truth remains truth. “What a game last night! You should have been there!” you breathlessly tell your coworker the next morning. “The lead changed every inning. Did you hear about the bases-loaded home run and the unbelievable catch by the center fielder in the ninth?” But finally, what your&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2015/10/01/who-won/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">Who Won?</span></a>]]></description>

I was foolishly banging around on the muffler without wearing any eye protection.  When a shower of rust and dust fell into my face, one tiny flake lodged firmly onto the surface of my eye. After a sleepless night of weeping, wiping,&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2013/07/01/spot-your-own-plank-first/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">“Spot Your Own Plank First”</span></a>]]></description>

A brief discussion followed on the roles which organized&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2013/07/01/spiritual-nones-some-thoughts/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">“Spiritual Nones”—Some Thoughts</span></a>]]></description>

In His Great Commission the Savior says, &#8220;&#8230;teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2013/04/01/catchy-one-liners-can-be-dangerous/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">Catchy One-liners Can be Dangerous</span></a>]]></description>
