The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn March 16, 2000 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have called my material surroundings a stage set. In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twas he that ranged the words at random flung, Pierced the fair pearls and them together strung. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46742]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twas he that ranged the words at random flung, Pierced the fair pearls and them together strung.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43631]]></link><description><![CDATA[But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have always held students accountable to all state requirements.

Thus the law of Christ is a law of bearing. Bearing means forbearing and sustaining...   The Christian must suffer and endure the brother. It is only when he is a burden that another person is really a brother and not merely an object to be manipulated. It is, first of all, the freedom of the other person that is a burden to the Christian. The freedom of the other person includes all that we mean by a person's nature, individuality, endowment. It also includes his weaknesses and oddities, which are such a trial to our patience, everything that produces frictions, conflicts, and collisions among us.   Then, there is the abuse of that freedom that becomes a burden for the Christian. In sin, fellowship with God and with his brother are broken. To cherish no contempt for the sinner but rather to prize the privilege of bearing him means not to have to give him up as lost, to be able to accept him, to preserve fellowship with him through forgiveness...   The service of forgiveness is rendered by one to the others daily. It occurs, without words, in the intercessions for one another. He who is bearing others knows that he himself is being borne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they're looking for ideas ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/649]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they're looking for ideas]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To brisk notes in cadence beating Glance their many-twinkling feet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11034]]></link><description><![CDATA[To brisk notes in cadence beating Glance their many-twinkling feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of rashness, but with energy, and sleepless vigilance, go forward and give us victories. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware of rashness, but with energy, and sleepless vigilance, go forward and give us victories.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Word of God is the informing power of the revelation of God in the finite world.
