We lost him towards the end of last year and that really hurt us. Joey Devine was one of the top pitchers ever in this conference, which he proved by what he did after he left here, making the big leagues in two months. Phil Davidson who was so versatile and played so many roles for us. He started, he came in in the sixth inning, came in the third, spot-started. He even closed some games. Phil was amazing for us. When a guy can do that many things for you, you're not just missing one pitcher; it's like you're missing three.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Willful waste brings woeful want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Willful waste brings woeful want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Running into debt isn't so bad.

He is the Spirit of life, both now and hereafter (Gal. 6:8; I Cor. 15:45); and the Spirit of assurance, the guarantee of the new life, whereby man obtains confidence towards God and courage in the face of the world's evil (II Cor. 1:22; Rom. 5:5, 8:16, 23; Eph. 1:13, 4:30). Man, therefore, as the dwelling-place of the Spirit, is the inalienable possession of God (I Cor. 3:16, 17, 6:19).

The suffering God is no vast cosmic force,  That by some blind, unthinking, loveless power  Keeps stars and atoms swinging in their course,  And reckons naught of men in this grim hour.  Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.  God suffers with a love that cleanses dross;  A God like that, I see upon a cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At night, when the curtains are drawn and the fire flickers, my books attain a collective dignity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1248]]></link><description><![CDATA[At night, when the curtains are drawn and the fire flickers, my books attain a collective dignity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5691]]></link><description><![CDATA[And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother-in-law broke up my marriage.
