  Love is an odd thing. I think it falls into the same category as hope. its a wonderful thing. but a very dangerous one at the same time. how much does it cost to love something. well. to love someone right I believe that it takes everything. and in giving up of oneself do we truy live. it seems so meaningless to not want to love. if God can be defined it is only in the context of love.
there is no other single word that can come close to what God is all about. I was just reading this sappy email that I had gotten a long time ago. and it says something like,  " it takes a short time for you to meet someone. but forever to forget them.  there are people that I have met that I will never ever forget. like Christ. sometimes it seems like years since we have last had a conversation. but I will never forget those handful of moments when I truly felt one with my Creator. I know a lot of you have had those moments.
especially at camp last year. sometimes remembering those moments when you felt God's love is some fraction of its true potential. is all that keeps us going. I am glad that God doesn't come down and brush my soul very often. I don't think that I am strong enough to take it all. a couple times has treated me just fine.
