AND every time i look at this list, i will remember: "We’re not to spend our days in watching our own vices, in gazing at our own sins, in stirring and raking up all the mud of our past lives; but to lift our thoughts from our own corrupt nature to Him who put on that nature in order to deliver it from corruption, and to fix our contemplations and our affections on Him who came to clothe us in His perfect righeousness, and through whom and in whom, if we are united to Him by a living faith, we too become righteous." Augustus Hare (1792-1834) and Julius Charles Hare (1795-1855)
