Word Is Out

"We who preach and write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding...If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly. Augustine
Grace To all,

Self Love is Subtle

"You will be tempted to speak out in a humble tone of voice to tell others
of your problems. Watch out for this. A humility that is still talkative
does not run very deep. When you talk too much, your self-love relieves its
sense of shame a little."
Francois Fenelon, 17th century.
