I get upset about it, because I feel that we American Christians make too much of it, and too little. Too little of it, because we pile all sorts of other things onto it, including some that have only the feeblest connection with the Event it is supposed to commemorate. If God did become a man, in any real sense, it is the most important thing that ever happened. Surely we, who believe it, could well devote one day a year to uninterrupted contemplation of the fact, and let Saturnalia fall on the winter solstice, where it belongs.   On the other hand, we make so much of the actual birth, and forget the things that make it more than just the birth of a baby (though even that is, in Walt Whitman's phrase, "miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels") -- more, even, than the birth of the greatest man who ever lived. We forget the promise to Eve of a descendant who will solve the problem of Evil; the promise to Abraham of one by whom all mankind will be blessed; the promise to Moses of a greater prophet than he, to arise from his people; and the promise to David of a Son who would be his Master. We forget about the eternal Purpose behind it all: it's like telling a story and leaving out the point. Yes, it is true that God gave us His Son, and so maybe we ought also to give gifts -- but what, and to whom? It is also true that God gave us Himself, and the only sensible response to that is to give ourselves to Him. There is nothing else that He wants from us, or, if there is something, He can take it. Only I, my ego, my heart, is truly mine to give or to withhold -- and is therefore the appropriate gift to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10020]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when eve's silent footfall steals Along the eastern sky,  And one by one to earth reveals   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14255]]></link><description><![CDATA[But when eve's silent footfall steals Along the eastern sky,  And one by one to earth reveals   Those purer fires on high.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56360]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good temper is an estate for life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good temper is an estate for life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life sofull of meaningful things that you'll hardly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life sofull of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think aboutfood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so firmly believed as what we least know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4096]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is so firmly believed as what we least know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/869]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23670]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy those who are weaker than he is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret to the future is not about survival, it's about unity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40998]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret to the future is not about survival, it's about unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just felt like reflecting on my junior year, when I didn't know what I was doing, I left a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41472]]></link><description><![CDATA[I just felt like reflecting on my junior year, when I didn't know what I was doing, I left a lot of stuff out there.

Folks have been speculating about a phone from Apple for more than a year. Being that I am a wireless analyst, I don't follow Apple as closely as others do. What I do know though, is that we are not likely to know until Apple wants us to know. They are pretty good at big surprises. Do I think they are developing a phone? Probably. Probably somewhere in their labs, there are prototypes of phones. Whether or not they bring one to market commercially is another story. Whether or not they will do so on their own is another open question. Hard to imagine carrier subsidies on a device unless there are revenues to be earned through downloaded services and content.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person.

It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't see that in Canada, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28657]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't see that in Canada,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through conscious thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through conscious thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just felt we're stronger at linebacker than the front guys, so were going to a 3-4. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33918]]></link><description><![CDATA[We just felt we're stronger at linebacker than the front guys, so were going to a 3-4.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33918</guid></item></channel></rss>
