Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have some size as always and a great point guard in Philip Garnett. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39893]]></link><description><![CDATA[They have some size as always and a great point guard in Philip Garnett.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Investment itself has evolved, and we try to evolve with it.

Clearly the more premature an infant is when he is born, the greater likelihood of complications. In fact, according to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services National Center for Health Statistics, complications stemming from short gestation and low birth weight are the second leading causes of infant mortality in the United States. Ironically, the advanced medical technologies used in the United States tend to increase our infant mortality rate, not decrease it. In the United States, advanced technologies and procedures have made it more practical in recent years for medical professionals to attempt to save severely premature infants. Such attempts do not always succeed, adding to the rate of infant mortality.] Resuscitation is more likely to be attempted on extremely premature babies born in the United States than in many other countries, ... The extremely premature babies on whom resuscitation is unsuccessful are then counted as infant deaths, whereas they are counted as fetal deaths when resuscitation has not been attempted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56641</guid></item></channel></rss>
