It was a bit toward the outer limits of what I generally address. I am working through the seven virtues and the seven deadly sins this month, with some extras thrown in for good measure. Tonight I will post a recipe and then discuss gluttony.Dawn Fortunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722591049949538021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12177793.post-89867970932079393822008-11-10T21:27:00.000-05:002008-11-10T21:27:00.000-05:00Very nice post.We cannot know the beauty of mercy ...Very nice post.<BR/><BR/>We cannot know the beauty of mercy until we are in a position to need it.<BR/><BR/>We cannot know beauty and joy and love until we have known ugliness, sorrow and hate. <BR/><BR/>We cannot appreciate the sun without the rain and the nighttime, and we cannot appreciate the rain and the nighttime until we have worked long and hot in the sun.<BR/><BR/>Creation is a series of cycles. Some parts we enjoy, some we endure, but all are necessary for things to work.<BR/><BR/>We are human, and thus imperfect. I think it is our search for perfection, our drive to be better than we are, to do more, go farther, explore our limits and then pass them; all of that is what eventually causes us to turn inward, to our souls and our spirituality, to search for what we have got already, to fuel our growth.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for making me think.Dawn Fortunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722591049949538021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12177793.post-53698711234115391702008-11-10T19:15:00.000-05:002008-11-10T19:15:00.000-05:00Hey, I work with www.mochaclub.org, a non-profit t...Hey, I work with www.mochaclub.org, a non-profit that works in Africa. I saw that you were on the NaBloPoMo list, and we'd love for you to blog about our new campaign on Nov. 24th. The campaign is centered around this idea – at Mocha Club, we have always cared about building an accurate perception of both the challenges that Africans face, and the BEAUTY of Africa. We need bloggers to help get the word out. Please email our director at barrett[at]mochaclub[dot]org if you would be interested in hearing the details! <BR/>thanks so much!<BR/>sarahUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217466297225470805noreply@blogger.com
