Consider how hard it is
to change yourself and you'll
understand what little chance
you have of changing others.

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

Great Quote!
Peace,
James
How true. But, boy, I'd rather change others...
ooo - M.C. Escher. Love his work.
In my bible study, we've been discussing this passage in Matthew: "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?" (Matt 7:3) My leader says "we can't be the Holy Spirit for another person...leave that to God!"
But MC could obviously change himself with mere strokes of his mighty drawing pen. (Damien, did you know there is something incorrect about this picture?)
