For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a rare exception of mainstream sports that have a fatality rate.

However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm saddest when I sing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43432]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm saddest when I sing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is definitely more rotation in my pants now that I'm famous.
