We play the same way every game. But this game, we had to keep playing hard because Virginia wasn't going to go away.

But this life is not a season to be always taking wages in; our work is not yet done; we are not always to abide in this mount; we must down again into the battle -- fight again, cry again, complain again. Shall the soul be thought now to have lost its assurance? Not at all. It had before assurance with joy, triumph, and exultation; it hath it now, or may have, with wrestling, cries, tears, and supplications. And a man's assurance may be as good, as true, when he lies on the earth with a sense of sin, as when he is carried up to the third heaven with a sense of love and foretaste of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They think they have God Almighty by the toe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41135]]></link><description><![CDATA[They think they have God Almighty by the toe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty, n: the power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty, n: the power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Coleridge Patteson, First Bishop of Melanesia, & his Companions, Martyrs, 1871   But the word 'temple' ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Coleridge Patteson, First Bishop of Melanesia, & his Companions, Martyrs, 1871   But the word 'temple' took on a deeper significance when Jesus referred to His own body as 'this temple.' He thus definitely declared Himself to be the personal embodiment of the living God. Later the Apostle Paul applied this term to Christians... "Ye are God's building... Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" And again, "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?" Paul taught that it is God's people who constitute the true church of God, and wherever they have fellowship in the Gospel, God is there. Moreover, he emphasized that as members of this true church it is our privilege to be "laborers together with God." It is our privilege to build upon the one foundation, Jesus Christ, with gold, silver, precious stones -- the kind of Christian service which abides for recognition at the judgment seat of Christ. Again, it is our responsibility to be consecrated for holy living and faithful service, "for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; so we must shun evil, and, since we have been bought with a price, we must glorify God in body and spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A maxim is the exact and noble expression of an important and indisputable truth.
