Suppose three unexcused absences required that the individual's name be automatically dropped from the roll, and he could be reinstated only by special vote of the body. Suppose absences from services had to be made up by attending services in some other place, or by carrying out some special project. Suppose church members had to be re-elected to membership each year, and that their attendance and participation in the program of activities determined how the vote went. Oh, well -- just suppose.   ... from The Baptist Messenger  September 16, 2002 Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882   This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide lands, you know very well what I would see--brigands on the high roads, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheaters men murdered to please applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59355]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to site thn it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is like a booger.
