Like ships storm-driven into port, like starving souls that seek the bread they once despised, like wanderers begging refuge from the whelming night, like prodigals that seek the father's home when all is spent;  yet welcomed at the open door, arms outstretched and kisses for our shame;  so is our coming unto Thee, 0 God. Like flowers uplifted to the sun, like trees that bend before the storm, like sleeping seas that mirror cloudless skies, like a harp to the hand, like an echo to a cry, like a song to the heart;  for all our stubbornness, our failure, and our sin:  so would we have been to Thee, O God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh those little, those little blue shoes! Those shoes that no little feet use.  Oh, the price were high ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3622]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh those little, those little blue shoes! Those shoes that no little feet use.  Oh, the price were high   That those shoes would buy,    Those little blue unused shoes!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For too long, the publicity of the sport has come in a two-week window (during the College World Series).
