I bargain for nothing. I make no terms. I seek for no previous information whither Thou art taking me. I will be what Thou wilt make me, and all that Thou wilt make me. I say not, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest, for I am weak, but I give myself to Thee, to lead me anywhither.   ... John Henry Newman  September 10, 2000   Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.   ... Luis Palau  September 11, 2000   Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.   ... Robert Louis Stevenson  September 12, 2000   Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence: it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I pulled up, I saw a construction crew on the guardrail pointing to a truck just beyond the King ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35571]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I pulled up, I saw a construction crew on the guardrail pointing to a truck just beyond the King Street overpass,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hate those who will not take our advice, and despise them who do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/805]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hate those who will not take our advice, and despise them who do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Karma-yoga no effort is ever lost, and there is no harm.

How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44810]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For oute of olde feldys, as men sey, Comyth al this newe corn from yere to yere;  And out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1730]]></link><description><![CDATA[For oute of olde feldys, as men sey, Comyth al this newe corn from yere to yere;  And out of old bokis, in good fey,   Comyth al this newe science that men lere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love you smile at me, I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near....I believe this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53261]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love you smile at me, I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near....I believe this is heaven to no one else but me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be a 'No', ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28267]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be a 'No',]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will create a substantial plume, excavate a bunch of material, some of which we believe may be water ice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32595]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will create a substantial plume, excavate a bunch of material, some of which we believe may be water ice and be able to measure that directly as the plume is created, and a great opportunity to really understand what we have there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is gold which is worth gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17773]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is gold which is worth gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The seed of God is in us.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 4, 2000 Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859   Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.   ... William Barclay, The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, Introduction  August 5, 2000 Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason, some come to learn and others come to teach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason, some come to learn and others come to teach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spark is 100% focused on developing high quality, high-impact games with cinematic realism, and contextual, dynamic advertising is the perfect ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spark is 100% focused on developing high quality, high-impact games with cinematic realism, and contextual, dynamic advertising is the perfect addition to that effort.
