Where does love fit into your equations of life?
Clipping: "Christians all over the world speak, preach, teach and extol the virtues of love. However, sometimes I wonder if our gonging sounds are just that. It is sort of like when my children were young and wanted that new, must have at all costs, toy. I would hear their summoning beckon like a fire engine roaring toward a possible doom; that plaything (that video game for my son or that Barbie doll for my daughter) had to be gotten and gotten soon. My paternal love was being weighed in the balance. Then with fatherly fanaticism I feverishly found it, favored it and dished it out with parental “love”, and I was rewarded with offspring affections of clanging sounds of appreciation! Or, at least that was the sound thereof. I was their champion for the day; I was the loving father of the moment, king for the day. However, today a scurry through the closet and that prize jewel of yesterday is yard sale fodder if I’ve ever seen any!Christians all over the world speak, preach, teach and extol the virtues of love.
