[Continued tomorrow]  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 5, 1998  And let us be grateful beyond words for this: that God will not let us alone until we have learnt it and stand by His side. He troubles us, He brings His disturbing light back and back to us, showing us how coarse and heavy the dying self, seeking her own, is; how horrible it is that any feeling of unforgiveness, accepted and held on to, towards our brother, drives God from our side; how quickly we must do all we can to heal the separation, because we are out in the cold and the dark indeed, if divorced from that Love.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 6, 1998  Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  Prayer is the expression of a good desire. The human heart is full of restless desires, and the prayers of men consist for the most part of the unsifted petitions which are urged by their varying passions. To desire what is right, and to desire it consistently, and passionately, is the first condition of true living; the desires can be corrected only by truth, the mind must apprehend God, and then it will say, "There is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It does not help us move forward.

The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indecision is fatal.

We must realize that God is against us when we are sinning; yet we dare trust that His gracious love reaches to us across the chasm which separates us from Him. When we understand His loving attitude and accept His Grace, He releases His love in us. By that love we are able to begin to keep His commands for us -- to love Him with heart, mind, soul and strength, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It will never come out of the flesh that's bred in the bone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50419]]></link><description><![CDATA[It will never come out of the flesh that's bred in the bone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your capacity to acquire has outstripped your capacity to enjoy, you are on the way to the scrap-heap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13948]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your capacity to acquire has outstripped your capacity to enjoy, you are on the way to the scrap-heap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With no more sign of wisdom than a beard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51726]]></link><description><![CDATA[With no more sign of wisdom than a beard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary Concluding a Lenten series on prayer:  Prayer is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary Concluding a Lenten series on prayer:  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.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and will to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24412]]></link><description><![CDATA[The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and will to carry on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an arson because someone has burned down buildings but because we don't have all of the evidence we're ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29258]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is an arson because someone has burned down buildings but because we don't have all of the evidence we're still considering what the charges will be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When they hold their tongues they cry out. [Lat., Cum tacent clamant.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56280]]></link><description><![CDATA[When they hold their tongues they cry out. [Lat., Cum tacent clamant.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea of saying we all sit together and agree to share the profit is highly problematic because different groups ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36670]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea of saying we all sit together and agree to share the profit is highly problematic because different groups of people will demand a bigger slice of the pie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never thought our business would grow this fast, but more people are becoming aware of this technology.
