At the very least, they can add a note of reality to what the minister offers. In many cases, the group takes up where the individual counseling left off, supplementing it or even eliminating it entirely. I have been repeatedly thankful that a group was available to give steady guidance who had made a fresh start in Christian living, but who still had a long way to go; this has been especially true in cases of loneliness, moderate emotional instability, inability to understand others, and need of continued guidance in the use of prayer and the Bible and the accepting and giving of love. In the nature of the case, no amount of individual counseling can fully deal with these needs. The "priesthood of all believers" becomes a recognized fact, with each person helping to open up for his neighbor the way to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be careful about reading health books.

In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Congress acknowledged that society's accumulated myths and fears about disability and disease are as handicapping as are the physical limitations ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Congress acknowledged that society's accumulated myths and fears about disability and disease are as handicapping as are the physical limitations that flow from actual impairment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a very kind and caring person, he was respected by everybody and he respected everybody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29906]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a very kind and caring person, he was respected by everybody and he respected everybody.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That from small fires comes oft no small mishap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54049]]></link><description><![CDATA[That from small fires comes oft no small mishap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18145]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18145</guid></item></channel></rss>
