If I am to reward thee for thy evil and wickedness, I must do it with goodness, for I am and have nothing else."   ... Theologia Germanica  June 7, 2002   Some will not believe in miracles because the laws of nature work uniformly.

They can fellowship with God because he is gracious; but they find it difficult to fellowship with one another, because they are not so gracious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They pretty much made the Freedom of Information Act a joke.
