		<description><![CDATA[&#160; My two heroes as a child, Garfield (the fat cat) and my church pastor, summed up my philosophy on life. Food and laying around the house coupled with loving God made for the ideal lifestyle. Drink, eat, play and have spiritual encounters were my favorite tasks, still holding great appeal for me today.

		<description><![CDATA[An intellectual genius, a devout religious adherent, a relational intimate grows old. Despite his exemplary attributes, the man despairs of knowing, of his final destination, and of his own isolation. For inside this superman a battle of desire wages and threatens to spill free. For all his discoveries, pious obedience, and treasured friendships cannot match the [...]]]></description>

And what did it take? A mere handful of sit-ups in the snow and the best techno-rock 1985 could muster. He outruns a car when it&#8217;s over&#8230; a KJB [...]]]></description>
