"Ye shall search for me with all your heart." He makes a direct call to us for single-mindedness: a single-minded longing for Him -- no lesser aim will do; no desire to be good, no striving to measure up to some standard we have set for ourselves, to correct some failure we have been shown in our way of life. These may be temporarily necessary, but they will turn to dust and ashes, they will end in a grim dryness, unless at the back of them all is what He asks of us --a never-ending search for a real knowledge of Him, for a sense of His reality, a confidence in His companionship, a joy and delight in the very person of God Himself. It is for this that we must learn to long and long, till our prayers for it become not just a form of words, but a stretching out of our whole being to Him.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    November 27, 1999  When God finished man He breathed into the human form the divine life, "and man became a living soul." Man is created to be a witness and likeness of God. God and man are so near to one another that it was possible for the Eternal Word to become Man without ceasing to be God, to re-ascend to the Highest without dehumanizing the Manhood which He had assumed; so near that the believer may say in the fullest meaning of the words, "I live, yet not I, but Christ".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a good financial planning tool, ...

Perceiving their simplicity, he cast down a huge log into the lake. The Frogs were terrified at the splash occasioned by its fall and hid themselves in the depths of the pool. But as soon as they realized that the huge log was motionless, they swam again to the top of the water, dismissed their fears, climbed up, and began squatting on it in contempt. After some time they began to think themselves ill-treated in the appointment of so inert a Ruler, and sent a second deputation to Jupiter to pray that he would set over them another sovereign. He then gave them an Eel to govern them. When the Frogs discovered his easy good nature, they sent yet a third time to Jupiter to beg him to choose for them still another King. Jupiter, displeased with all their complaints, sent a Heron, who preyed upon the Frogs day by day till there were none left to croak upon the lake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That in the captain's but a choleric word, Which in the soldier is flat blasphemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51393]]></link><description><![CDATA[That in the captain's but a choleric word, Which in the soldier is flat blasphemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is looking after a few bushes and shrubs and has even placed a circle of white stones around a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29833]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is looking after a few bushes and shrubs and has even placed a circle of white stones around a small palm tree,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's not a string attuned to mirth, But has its chord in melancholy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50169]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's not a string attuned to mirth, But has its chord in melancholy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He never saw me play ball in high school.
