How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63323]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ennui and lethargy are waging a war inside me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ennui and lethargy are waging a war inside me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64428]]></link><description><![CDATA[An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The general sessions did a great job in presenting a top down view of the industry as a whole, managing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41696]]></link><description><![CDATA[The general sessions did a great job in presenting a top down view of the industry as a whole, managing to put all the pieces together in a perspective relative to each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When aiming for the common denominator, be prepared for the occasional division by zero. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17612]]></link><description><![CDATA[When aiming for the common denominator, be prepared for the occasional division by zero.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From thy own smile I snatched the snake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56675]]></link><description><![CDATA[From thy own smile I snatched the snake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sports is the toy department of human life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sports is the toy department of human life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to be against the odds.
