Thirteen Thirteen

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

- 1 Corinthians 13:13

Something unnerving is happening. I'm beginning to actually like people. And not just the likable ones. Those are easy.

Faith, hope and love... See, loyalty comes naturally to me. Mix in some imagination and you've got faith. Hope, well, I always figured that was just faith in a fancy dress. Love, though, that's a tough one for me because loyalty lets you think you can love people even if you don't like them.

I've been spending a lot of time with God these past few months of non-blogging. "Seek ye first" and all that. I pride myself on having a lot of non-Christian friends, and I'm about to freak them all out: I think the reason I'm beginning to like people is that I'm falling in love with Jesus Christ. Sorry guys.

I wish you could feel what I feel.

I'm also fond of this verse.

"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them.

There's this thing about an egg and a chicken...

I'm glad you're back. I've missed your musing. I really like this one. Nice hustle.

Doesn't freak me out at all. It's good to see friends find their way, even if it isn't mine :)

Oh, and this will make you smile: Someone on the MOUL fourm is handing out umbrellas with handles today. You should come hang out with us. You had a part in making this come true.

I'm right there with you, brother.

I just did a Google search on your name and this place comes up before your interviews, accolades and such. I like that you don't post all that often, too. Like you're out there in the battle (as it were) and just touching base here to reflect on the stuff you're taking note of along the way.

Here's to contemplations and revelations! May our words be as active as the feet of love that precede them.

Hm, I posted a few days ago and it never showed up.

Not going to try to remember what I said, so I'll just say I'm glad, Bill. *smile*

And I still hope to see you in the cavern...
