This view makes them absolute and positive evils, which admit of no remedy or relief. If we view our troubles and trials aside from the divine design and agency in them, we cannot be comforted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All your better deeds Shall be in water writ, but this in marble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11665]]></link><description><![CDATA[All your better deeds Shall be in water writ, but this in marble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been fielding quite a few calls about Apple's filing of the 'Mobile Me' patent.

Folks have been speculating about a phone from Apple for more than a year. Being that I am a wireless analyst, I don't follow Apple as closely as others do. What I do know though, is that we are not likely to know until Apple wants us to know. They are pretty good at big surprises. Do I think they are developing a phone? Probably. Probably somewhere in their labs, there are prototypes of phones. Whether or not they bring one to market commercially is another story. Whether or not they will do so on their own is another open question. Hard to imagine carrier subsidies on a device unless there are revenues to be earned through downloaded services and content.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  From every pulpit in the land it needs to be thundered forth that God still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  From every pulpit in the land it needs to be thundered forth that God still lives, that God still observes, ... still reigns.

Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was there when her mom died.
