WITandWISDOM(tm) - July 3, 1998 THOUGHTS: Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Shared by MakeMyDay-owner@sparklist.com SPECIAL THOUGHTS: A MATTER OF THE HEART By Richard P. McBrien If love is the soul of Christian existence, it must be at the heart of every other Christian virtue. Thus, for example: JUSTICE without love is legalism; FAITH without love is ideology; HOPE without love is self-centeredness; FORGIVENESS without love is self-centeredness; FORTITUDE without love is recklessness; GENEROSITY without love is extravagance; CARE without love is mere duty; FIDELITY without love is servitude. Every virtue is an expression of love. No virtue is really a virtue unless it is permeated, or informed, by love 1 Corinthians 13). - Christianity Today, January 8, 1996 THIS & THAT: SOME OF MY ANSWERING MACHINE MESSAGES . . .

"We will not supply husbands with colored paint without a signed note from their wives," says a new sign Gordon has posted beside the paint mixing machine at his shop in Alford. If nothing else, "men are thinking a bit harder about what they buy," since he put up the sign, Gordon said in an interview with the London Daily Mail.
