Let them stay there permanently, like bright beacons, launching their powerful shafts of light upon life's problems -- our own and everyone's -- as they illumine, now one, now another dark area of human life. Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't have any expectations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29591]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't have any expectations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I used to think I had ambition . . . but now I'm not so sure.
