Try to enter the narrow way...

Abba Matoes said that three old men went to Abba Paphnutius, who was called Cephalus, to ask a word from him. The old man said to them, 'What do you want me to say to you? A spiritual word, or a bodily word?' They said, 'A spiritual word.' The old man said to them, 'Go, and choose trials rather than stillness, shame rather than glory, and to give rather than to receive.' - Abba Matoes

And Now - A Song For Cathy!


.
While it is true praise might be deceitful - it is very important to encourage one another.

I just love her - I'd post all of her videos but they tend to be a little raw - although the lyrics are honest. I love her phrasing. Unfortunately her songs seem to be too "I'm okay just the way I am" but we have to remember she's singing to people whose self esteem is usually in the gutter and they think of themselves as throw-away goods. Unfortunately the message is wrapped up in material riches and glamour and therefore lacks authentic, hope and spiritual redemption.
