			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop">E</span>lla and I play this little game where I ask her something and she says no until I convince her to say, &#8220;Maybe yeah&#8221; and then I say, &#8220;I am the winner!&#8221;  She responds with &#8220;I am the loser!&#8221;  She, of course, doesn&#8217;t understand what she&#8217;s saying.  When she grows up she may be a bit upset with me.  I&#8217;ll play her some Switchfoot (<a href="http://www.christianrocklyrics.com/switchfoot/theloser.php" target="_blank">The Loser</a>) and it&#8217;ll be okay.</p>
<p>Anyway, it just so happens that I am rarely the winner.  I enter contests as often as the next guy but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever actually won much.  Well, every week I put my name and email address into the Free Stuff Fridays giveaway over at <a href="http://www.challies.com" target="_blank">Tim Challies blog</a> because every week he&#8217;s giving away great stuff.  Its a great blog that I visit every day.</p>

<p>On Saturday, after a very long day that had followed a very long night, I got home around 10pm and thought I&#8217;d check my email really quick (I&#8217;m a bit of a junkie).  There in my inbox was an email from Tim Challies with the subject line:  &#8220;Free Stuff Fridays (You Won)&#8221;.  You can see what I won <a href="http://www.challies.com/archives/general-news/giveaways/free-stuff-fridays-11.php" target="_blank">here</a>.  I&#8217;m pretty excited about getting some new reading material.</p>
