This bondage becomes most painfully apparent in our lives when we earnestly feel the need of changing but cannot; when we are attracted to another value that for one reason or another conflicts with the desires of our true god --that value nearest and dearest to us. But our true god lies so deeply inside us that often we are not even consciously aware of its presence or of what it actually is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last year, there was a little more pressure.
