@crazywriter,

In regard to the whole love at first sight, i think Brian, you hit the nail on the head. Biblically incorrect, logically stupid, it is a notion designed to fool people, especially younger ones, including myself. I think of when Paul tells Timothy, “Flee from youthful lusts,” which in part could be grouped with ‘love at first sight.’ Personally I think that it is a load of garbage, (forgive the strong terms).

Strong terms are awesome!! You should see how I talk when the subject of the secular entertainment industry comes up. XD

Many people say ‘follow your heart,’ which is something that makes me bite my lip to not shout out, “The heart above all is deceitful!” Jeremiah 17:9.

Oof, same here! My mom has always been strongly against this “advice” since she tried it when she was… a teenager? I think? Anyway it didn’t turn out.

This is one of the reasons I highly appreciate Andrew Peterson. In one of  his books (On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, I think) he says, “Don’t just follow your heart. Your heart will betray you.”

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT RIGHT!

Whats your three favorite songs to sing on sunday?

Ooh… hard question. I’ll go with

1. You Are Holy (Prince of Peace) by Michael W. Smith (I don’t really like most of his songs, but this one is so fun to sing and the lyrics are amazing)
2. It is Well With My Soul (I agree, Mr. Brian! The story is stunning).
3. Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus (especially the last verse, where it says, “Then go to a world that is dying, his perfect salvation to tell).

@obrian-of-the-surface-world,

Both you and Peter have awesome best gifts from your dad!! My mom was more the one who led me to Christ, tho, so I think I’d say my best gift from my dad is himself. He pours his time, energy, money, patience, sleep, tender love, everything into caring for his daughters. He’s always been there for me and, even though it’s hard for us to understand each other at times, he’s one of my greatest role models and mentors.
