"I would rather feel contrition than know the definition thereof." - Thomas a Kempis
from chapter 1 of the first book in "Of The Imitation of Christ"
How many things do I know of that I do not practice? How much condemnation am I in danger of falling under?
I know many definitions- but do I live many of them? I think not. My mind and heart and spirit are not always in accord. I am weary with learning because I am slow to do.
If I was faithful to even a quarter of the knowledge I had...
So many vanities...
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” -II Corinthians 12:9

I brought my copy with me from Scotland. Great minds like the same books huh? I am glad you posted this, it might just go in my dissertation....
Like-mindedness is a rare thing for me to find. As to my greatness... that remains to be seen. I am glad that something I have written will be other than straw to be burned in the fire...
