The diving competition was more of a relaxed atmosphere, which allowed the divers to let it all out and not be worried. Michael Bennett became our sixth and final NCAA zone qualifier. So all of our divers qualified for the NCAA zone meet. I did not expect that to happen, but I think that it is great that it did.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57053]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher. - Life and Letters of Thomas Huxley.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will miss him as a distinguished religious figure, who devoted his life to defending the values of peace, freedom ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41290]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will miss him as a distinguished religious figure, who devoted his life to defending the values of peace, freedom and equality.

Whether this deity be true or false, the temple as such becomes a meeting-place for people who desire to worship as they understand it. For the ancient Hebrews, the Temple in Jerusalem was the house of God, the place where God dwelt symbolically, and met with people who came to worship. Jesus called it "My Father's house." For the Christian, the word 'church' has become the symbol for the edifice built and dedicated for the worship of God. But unless it is so dedicated and so used, it may be considered only a mere building or club-house. However beautiful its design and architecture, a church is a true temple only as it is frequented by God's people who come to "worship Him in spirit and in truth," and who there hold forth "the word of life."
