In the remodeling scenarios presented to the board, the district would spend a lot of money and still have old buildings that were just retrofitted.

"That must be something very terrible and awful. That certainly must rend and tear the life to which God comes. At least, it will separate it and make it unnatural and strange. God fills a bush with His glory and it burns. God enters into the great mountain, and it rocks with earthquake. When he comes to occupy a man, He must distort the humanity which He occupies into some inhuman shape." Instead of that, this new life into which God comes, seems to be the most quietly, naturally human life that was ever seen upon the earth. It glides into its place like sunlight. It seems to make it evident that God and man are essentially so near together, that the meeting of their natures in the life of a God-man is not strange. So always does Christ deal with His own nature, accepting His Divinity as you and I accept our humanity, and letting it shine out through the envelope with which it has most subtly and mysteriously mingled, as the soul is mingled with and shines out through the body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's dying is more the survivors' affair than his own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11182]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's dying is more the survivors' affair than his own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am responsible.

Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45754]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11118]]></link><description><![CDATA[I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are a furry gnome and we feed you too much!
