Wells said, that it is "a bad joke beyond our unterstanding, a flare of vulgarity, an empty laugh braying across the mysteries." With Jesus forever between God and us, we can understand a few things, and trust Him for the rest. After all, He is one of us: a baby once, as we all were; then, and forever after, a Man, as we all shall always be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3774]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43887]]></link><description><![CDATA[A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was never less alone than when by myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25537]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was never less alone than when by myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jamie started the idea when she was in high school.
