Howdy All,
We need to think about something, so here's a topic: What is romantic love?
I didn't have the best examples of romantic love, so I'm trying to define it.
We can find all sorts of verses for God's selfless love, and how to show it. Romantic love is related to God's selfless love, but it is different. I can show God's selfless love to all my brothers and sisters in Christ, but I'll only show romantic love to the woman I marry. (For those who are curious, the woman I marry remains hypothetical for now).
Ground Rules:
Please keep your response focused on romantic love in Biblical context.
Feel free to use verses, but kindly explain them and what you mean (i.e. don't just post a verse - please talk about it).

Howdy All,
My Uncle Steve died this week. This was sudden, but not surprising (he's had type 1 diabetes all his life).
My family is having an reunion on the Oregon coast this next month, and we were planning on bringing him. I really, really miss him.
Thanks,
Jess

Howdy All,
I saw this movie a couple of weekends ago. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. It really made me think, and, in one point, cry.
Here's the web site for it:

MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Though nine out of ten Americans claim a belief in God, public expression of faith is more contentious as ever. Even as discussion of religion floods the media like never before, the rhetoric is divisive and hyper as the 2008 elections loom on the horizon.
Lord, Save Us From Your Followers is the energetic, accessible documentary that explores the collision of faith and culture in America. Fed up with the angry, strident language filling the airwaves that has come to represent the Christian faith, director (and follower) Dan Merchant set out to discover why the Gospel of Love is dividing America. Utilizing a broad array of expert interviews, man-on-the-street bits, hilarious animations and “I’ve never seen that before” stunts, Lord, Save Us From Your Followers brings everyone into the conversation that this country is aching to have.
In the tradition of “entertaining documentaries” like Super Size Me, Bowling For Columbine and What the Bleep Do We Know?, Lord, Save Us From Your Followers, employs the language of pop culture to create a provocative, funny and redemptive viewing experience that will leave the audience talking for hours.
From the man-on-the-street blitz of “Bumpersticker Man” to a “Culture Wars” game show, from Dan’s proclamation drive to re-name St. Paul to New Leningrad to the controversial and moving “Confession Booth” at Gay Pride, Lord, Save Us From Your Followers delves into all the hot button issues with candor, humor and balance.
With exclusive interviews with comedian/Senatorial candidate Al Franken, former Senator and Religious Right inside man Rick Santorum, noted “liberal evangelical” Tony Campolo, conservative radio host Michael Reagan, racial reconciliation activist Dr. John Perkins and features with Bono, Pastor Rick Warren (“Purpose Driven Life”), James Dobson, Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, no stone is left unturned in this engaging, unpredictable and challenging look at the conflict over religion in America.

Howdy All,
Well, God continues to bless me. I seem to be doing everything they need be to at work satisfactorily. Managers keep bragging about me.
My grand nephew turns one year old next week. It will be quite the family get together! I saw him at Easter and he was quite the charmer =D
God Bless You All

Howdy All,
Thanks for praying for my job situation. I just finished my first week at my new job. I don't think it could have gone better. I'm working for Wilshire Credit, as a Software Quality Analyst. They give me software designs and I figure out how to test the software. I also critique the design itself to make sure it makes sense. I've been doing this for a couple years at my last job. I didn't realize how valuable the industry finds it now.
God's blessing me a lot. Thanks again for praying.
God Bless You,
Jess
