But as you acknowledge it is about a really firey strength, a power, a courage and all under control. Both self-control and acquiescence to a better power.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-13343038063554158202017-04-02T19:53:05.372+10:002017-04-02T19:53:05.372+10:00As Fr.

Riccardo explained, meek in the sense that biblical writers meant it refers to strength that is under control.</em><br /><br />If only Christians had understood that and explained it to people Christianity might today be a thriving religion.<br /><br />I can't help thinking that the misunderstanding of the concept has been deliberately propagated by traitors within the churches.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-39955350951800862932017-04-02T09:01:35.849+10:002017-04-02T09:01:35.849+10:00Even when a warhorse is still and quiet, it has a ...Even when a warhorse is still and quiet, it has a very powerful presence.

Most of the time I am quite passive but on the occasions when I become assertive, it takes everyone by surprise, they look up and take notice.<br /><br />It always takes me by surprise until I remember that I am normally the quiet chilled out, reasoned, rationally thinking person in the room.CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.com
