Hello again. I am forgoing the hiatus I mentioned once again. Yesterday I was inspired to try something new, a series.

This was partially inspired by a blog a friend of mine wrote back in March. Whilst he really didn’t expound upon things, I thought it would be interesting to break love up into five categories, and look at the components of each category. If you haven’t already guessed, my base text will be 1 Corinthians 13. While many of us have read this many a time (if you haven’t you can go to www.biblegateway.comand check it out), I don’t think a lot of us have actually seriously considered the qualities of love described in this chapter. That is my aim, that is my goal, to attempt to reason through those qualities. I want to compare them to the life of Christ first and foremost (i.e. see how Christ exemplified these characteristics in his own life), see how other Biblical characters acted out these characteristics of love, and lastly an application for our lives.

I plan on starting this series in about a week or so, but just wanted to give everybody a heads up of what was coming. I plan on doing this over five weeks, with 2-5 installments coming each week. Now whether anybody actually reads these is a different story, but I was intrigued by the idea, and decided to proceed further. So here are the five categories in which I will place things:

• Love is…
• Love does not…
• Love is not…
• Love always…
• Love (in general)…

So there you have it. I hope you check in to read these. I don’t know how this will turn out, but I’m looking forward to it!!
