Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide Thee,  Ask for naught beside Thee. In Thine arm I rest me; foes who would molest me  Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking,  God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us:  Jesus will not fail us. Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An increasing number of middle income Americans are benefiting from the rising value of their stocks and mutual funds, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30203]]></link><description><![CDATA[An increasing number of middle income Americans are benefiting from the rising value of their stocks and mutual funds, and they have a stake in our economy, ...

Eccl. 12:6. When he understood it, he called for his friends, and told them of it. Then said he, I am going to my Father's; and though with great difficulty I have got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles who will now be my rewarder.
