He immediately let go of his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog to get his larger piece from him. He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow; and his own, because the stream swept it away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, we're telling people to expect at least a half-hour delay if you're going to try to use the Homestead ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34020]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, we're telling people to expect at least a half-hour delay if you're going to try to use the Homestead Grays bridge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the dead bury their dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the dead bury their dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You progress not through what has been done, but reaching towards what has yet to be done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23550]]></link><description><![CDATA[You progress not through what has been done, but reaching towards what has yet to be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61201]]></link><description><![CDATA[War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the most beautiful of all lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the most beautiful of all lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature teaches more than she preaches.

For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The love of a family is life's greatest blessing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15152]]></link><description><![CDATA[The love of a family is life's greatest blessing]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God makes three requests of his children: Do the best you can, where you are, with what you have, now ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12705]]></link><description><![CDATA[God makes three requests of his children: Do the best you can, where you are, with what you have, now]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Evelyn Underhill, Mystical Writer, 1941  As the Christian life in the individual is the work of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Evelyn Underhill, Mystical Writer, 1941  As the Christian life in the individual is the work of the Spirit, it follows that the corporate realization of that life, in the Church built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets, is also His creation... The great creative acts and significant turning-points were recognized, either by the Church or by its historian, as determined by the Spirit. The Spirit confirmed and preserved the community from the outset, by the descent at Pentecost (Acts 2:4). The extension of the Gospel beyond Judea and the first mission to the Gentiles were commanded and approved by the Spirit (Acts 8:29, 10:19, 44, 13:2, 4). Paul, on his journeys, was led by the Spirit (Acts 16:6, 7). He himself was especially conscious that his whole ministry was inspired by the Holy Ghost (Rom. 15:18,19). All the apostles were conspicuously men of the Spirit. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6239</guid></item></channel></rss>
