Suppose three unexcused absences required that the individual's name be automatically dropped from the roll, and he could be reinstated only by special vote of the body. Suppose absences from services had to be made up by attending services in some other place, or by carrying out some special project. Suppose church members had to be re-elected to membership each year, and that their attendance and participation in the program of activities determined how the vote went. Oh, well -- just suppose.   ... from The Baptist Messenger  September 16, 2002 Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882   This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide lands, you know very well what I would see--brigands on the high roads, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheaters men murdered to please applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams are the touchstones of our character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreams are the touchstones of our character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The flame of anger, bright and brief, sharpens the barb of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66593]]></link><description><![CDATA[The flame of anger, bright and brief, sharpens the barb of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where the lion's skin falls short it must be eked out with the fox's. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where the lion's skin falls short it must be eked out with the fox's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27356]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice bless'd; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles. [Ger., O der alles vergrossernden Eifersucht.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23165]]></link><description><![CDATA[O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles. [Ger., O der alles vergrossernden Eifersucht.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To refuse graciously is to confer a favor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15488]]></link><description><![CDATA[To refuse graciously is to confer a favor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The people are the ones who are entitled to choose who occupies elected office, not the party. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30731]]></link><description><![CDATA[The people are the ones who are entitled to choose who occupies elected office, not the party.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  The reason why we can hope to find God is that He is here, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  The reason why we can hope to find God is that He is here, engaged all the time in finding us.

For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We stopped the military work to give credibility to the Palestinian Authority, without canceling other options. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28309]]></link><description><![CDATA[We stopped the military work to give credibility to the Palestinian Authority, without canceling other options.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money talks — but credit has an echo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money talks — but credit has an echo.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Methinks a father Is at the nuptial of his son a guest  That best becomes the table. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Methinks a father Is at the nuptial of his son a guest  That best becomes the table.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2181]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Christmas present to myself each year is to see how much air travel can open up the world and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64412]]></link><description><![CDATA[My Christmas present to myself each year is to see how much air travel can open up the world and take me to places as far from sheltered California and Japan as possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you haven't got the time to do it right, when will you find the time to do it over? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14521]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you haven't got the time to do it right, when will you find the time to do it over?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O solitude, where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face?  Better dwell in the midst of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57174]]></link><description><![CDATA[O solitude, where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face?  Better dwell in the midst of alarms,   Than reign in this horrible place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57174</guid></item></channel></rss>
