The account of a man who sells his shadow is in actual fact the life story of a persecution complex, that is to say, the paranoid narration of a man who through one event or another is suddenly made aware of his infinite smallness and at the same time finds the means by which to deceive the world in general, concerning this discovery.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

We couldn't have landed this account at a better time. Our continued successes working with consumer products companies across the United States are again reflected in McCormick's appointment of us. I am especially thrilled because McCormick is a Maryland-based company. I was born and raised in Maryland and our home office is located in Annapolis -- not far from McCormick's Maryland headquarters. Of course, it does not get any better than Maryland Crabs and Old Bay seasoning (one of McCormick's many fine products)!

The one thing that keeps us from the possibility of worrying is bringing God in as the greatest factor in all our calculations.
Oswald Chambers

He says from Him, as Augustine says in the book On the Trinity, on account of the Father; he says through Him on account of the Son; in Him on account of the Holy Spirit. But by this, that he does not say from Them, through Them and in Them, nor does he say to Them (be) the glory, but to Him, he hints, that this Trinity is the One Lord God.
