It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are hoping this is real wake-up call so people can start getting ready for the colder weather. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37324]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are hoping this is real wake-up call so people can start getting ready for the colder weather.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just hope that teams realize my foot injury really hampered me.

It is a hard thing to break through a habit, and a yet harder thing to go contrary to our own will. Yet, if thou overcome not slight and easy obstacles, how wilt thou overcome greater ones? Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties.
