His
own character may
still be
gravely defective, but he somehow
knows that
God has

senses that he
stands at the
edge of new
mysteries,
joys, and

which he had
never even
dreamed.

... stands in
judgment.
BB p.135,
The Family Afterward
Though he is now a most

smokes
and
drinks coffee, but
neither his
wife nor anyone else
stands in
judgment.

... stands in
the way of my usefulness ...
BB p.76,
Into Action
I
pray that you now
remove
from me every
single defect of
character which
stands in the way of my
usefulness to you and my
fellows.
