What’s Wrong with my love

My pastors are teaching a series on the 9 fruit of the Spirit. Today the topic was love. We were challenged to read I Corinthians 13 daily. As I was doing this tonight another comment from the sermon jumped out. "If we are not exhibiting the 9 fruit in our lives, something is wrong with our love." I admit to being a little self-righteous in my thinking about love. I "love" people, genuinely. I haven't met anyone that I dislike. I don't hate anyone. So I thought I was doing pretty good in this area. Then in the sermon, the preacher pointed out that love, God's defined love is Agape love. It is defined in the scriptures and I fall so incredibly short.

Lasting Memories

Over thirty years ago I lost a childhood friend. I still remember standing in the hallway, my mom on the phone that hung in hall of our home.  It was a little over a week until my birthday.  My friend had been in the hospital.  As a child I thought that she had childhood diabetes. ...

I had one of these moments recently.  My daughter and I were talking about the 5 Love Languages.   She went through giving her answers for the test for children.  Even as she answered,...
