FRIEND, ENEMY (August 11, 2007)
Feeling quite unfriendly toward the world, I find unexpected comfort in the words of Paramahansa Yogananda, who quotes directly from the bible (James, 4:4): “Whosoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” Having checked all the copies of the bible in my library, and there are many in different languages, I feel very much relieved. God’s enemy I will apparently never be.
