What is love, anyway?

So, I was watching "the bachelor" yesterday, watching this Dr. date multiple women, trying to wrap his mind around multiple romantic dates while trying to still not "cheat on a girlfriend." I suppose it's not cheating if they're all your girlfriends? (I know Cindy, it's horrible, isn't it?)
Of course I watch it, it's TiVOed for sure. Anyway, so yesterday was V-day and i'm watching the show, then I am thinking about love (woke up in an awesome mood, clutching my bible for some reason? and just loving the world and feeling great) and thought...
Where better to read about Love on Valentines day than 1 Corinthians 13? The "Love Chapter," if you will. So I'm reading and I'm thinking about how real love is so different than what you watch on TV. Love on the Bachelor waits all of 2 seconds to go in for the first smooch session. LOVE is patient. Love on the Bachelor is girls clawing out eyes and back-stabbing ea. other to "get the guy." LOVE is kind. LOVE endures all things, believes all things, hopes all things. It rejoices in the TRUTH! REAL LOVE keeps people married, and involves sacrifice (the biggest sacrifice being Jesus' sacrifice for us, to pay for our sins for all time! The hugest love story ever!)
Anyway, enough sermon, but I just thought in lieu of V-day I would sermonize a bit on REAL love and the Bachelor.
But speaking of said horrible dating show that doesn't exemplify real love...the Bachelor, I am rooting for Sarah from Tennessee. She is sweet and nice and kind and just surprisingly great for a reality dating show! That other girl, on the other hand, I think is bad news.
thanks for the v-day packageS, mom and dad, especially that envelope... you are too good to me and I have such a good example of grace just by knowing you! I love you!
also G and G, thanks for the socks! I put 'em on right away! yeah, you're the best!
