Just a Thought

Not encountering God in your life? How do you see God if you're not looking in his direction?

They Walked With God

"They Walked with God" is a book I'm currently reading - a volume of writings of great Christian philosophers of the past. I read "Testimony of the Christian Soul" by Tertullian on the plane ride back, and this morning I started reading from the ninth book of Confessions by St. Augustine. I won't kid myself... I don't understand what I've read anywhere close to the level I want...

Couple quotes that stood out to me today though:
Even as friends by their flattery pervert, so do enemies by their taunts often correct us.
and writing of his mother...
[...] having received the grace of Thy baptism, did she devote care such as she might if she had been mother of us all; served us as if she had been a child of all.

I'm going to have to reread this book many times I just know it x__x
What utterances sent I up unto Thee, my God, when I read the Psalms of David, those faithful songs and sounds of devotion which exclude all swelling of spirit, when new to Thy true love, at rest in the villa with Alypius, a catechumen like myself, my mother cleaving unto us, -- in woman's garb truly, but with a man's faith, with the peacefulness of age, full of motherly love and Christian piety!
That's easy to understand by itself... as a single sentence... but throw that in the middle of another 100 sentences =T
