It is personal, with things happening between people as well as to and in them individually; it is compassionate, always eager to help, observant but non judgmental toward others, breathing out hope and concern; it is creative, with imagination about each one in the group and its work as a whole, watching for authentic new vision coming from any of them; and it is expectant, always seeking to offer to God open and believing hearts and minds through which He can work out His will, either in the sometimes startling miracles He gives or in steady purpose through long stretches where there is no special "opening". It may fairly be said that unless one enmeshes himself in this "redemptive fellowship" of the church, he lessens his chances of steady growth and effectiveness, in his Christian life and experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Voters can now check how many times Bush resorts to canned remarks, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Voters can now check how many times Bush resorts to canned remarks,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An aware parent loves all children he or she meets and interacts with - for you are a caretaker for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5981]]></link><description><![CDATA[An aware parent loves all children he or she meets and interacts with - for you are a caretaker for those moments in time.

In the bedroom you grew up in. It's the only place on this entire planet that is yours. The only place on the planet that understands you. It understands the way your nerves flare everytime you think about talking to anyone, scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. It knows what turns that switch on and off and on again. It understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "what's wrong"s and "you look tired"s. So the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. It understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends. The way you look in the mirror and think of yourself as "Mr. Misery"...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time was made for slaves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time was made for slaves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People need loving the most when they deserve it the least. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2061]]></link><description><![CDATA[People need loving the most when they deserve it the least.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coal-black is better than another hue In that it scorns to bear another hue;  For all the water in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coal-black is better than another hue In that it scorns to bear another hue;  For all the water in the ocean   Can never turn the swan's black legs to white,    Although she lave them hourly in the flood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is like prostitution.
