At times, we would tell him, 'You're so uptight, you just need to relax.' But if he wasn't like that I don't know if we would have taken some games as seriously as we did.

We have no reason to mistrust the New Testament assurance. The Easter message and the historical Jesus are joined by a bridge resting on many piers. Jesus proclaimed the good news of the presence of God who, like a forgiving father, seeks his lost children and grants even sinners the company of the Redeemer; the disciples preached the Gospel of Christ, who appeared as saviour and died on the cross for sinners. In the Holy Spirit Jesus drove out unclean spirits and conquered Satan; from Easter onwards he was extolled as the Lord of all spirits, who gives the Holy Spirit to believers and in him is ever present with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thing devised by the enemy. -King Richard III.

This knowledge is good ... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." ... Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity... St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Farm Safety is important all year long, but we are proud to help Farm Bureau promote safety during spring planting. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Farm Safety is important all year long, but we are proud to help Farm Bureau promote safety during spring planting.

In the winter of 1824, there set in a great flood upon that town--the tide rose to an incredible height: the waves rushed in upon the houses, and everything was threatened with destruction. In the midst of this sublime and terrible storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of her house with mop and pattens, trundling her mop, squeezing out the sea water, and vigorously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was roused. Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Partington. She was excellent at a slop or a puddle, but she should not have meddled with a tempest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64580]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just matched Southwest's intensity in the first half ÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â¢?ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â¦ they dictated the game in the first half, ...
