We lost him towards the end of last year and that really hurt us. Joey Devine was one of the top pitchers ever in this conference, which he proved by what he did after he left here, making the big leagues in two months. Phil Davidson who was so versatile and played so many roles for us. He started, he came in in the sixth inning, came in the third, spot-started. He even closed some games. Phil was amazing for us. When a guy can do that many things for you, you're not just missing one pitcher; it's like you're missing three.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every kid has a dream of owning and driving a race car.

The shared life of the Christian community must become a context in which the differing gifts can be used for each other. There is much still to be learned about this. Are the homes of married Christians an added support for the single? Is the availability of the single Christian put at the disposal of his married friends, for "babysitting" duties and the like. And what is true of the mutual support of married and single needs to be true in a wider way of the care exercised by the married and the single for each other, so that nobody's home life becomes completely cut off from support and help.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is wrong to suppose that for Paul faith is a meritorious act on man's part, which wins salvation, or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7859]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is wrong to suppose that for Paul faith is a meritorious act on man's part, which wins salvation, or even, in a more modern way of speech, a creative moral principle in itself. Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith." This is not mere verbal subtlety. It means that the "righteousness of God" becomes ours, not by the assertion of the individual will as such, but by the willingness to let God work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Across the wires the electric message came: / `He is no better, he is much the same.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Across the wires the electric message came: / `He is no better, he is much the same.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody seems to be talking about security.
