God would have found His man, no doubt, but the loss to Abraham would have been tragic beyond the telling. So we will be brought one by one to the testing place, and we may never know when we are there. At that testing place there will be no dozen possible choices for us; just one and an alternative, but our whole future will be conditioned by the choice we make.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I mean, when you've got guys like Ken Griffey Jr. in our stadium, in our locker room, I've got to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35174]]></link><description><![CDATA[I mean, when you've got guys like Ken Griffey Jr. in our stadium, in our locker room, I've got to talk to them.
