I went to church today!!! How proud are you of me? Yeah I figured you would be. I dragged my lazy butt out of bed and drove there and it was soooo good. I wish I hadn't missed last week because apparantly they've been doing a series on 1 Corinthians 13... annnnnnnd yeah.
This week was the part about love not being self-seeking. Here's some stuff that was on the sermon notes fill-in paper in the bulletin:
Love when offered primarily as a way to get something for ourselves or to get love in return is not love.
The depth of our love is not measured by the big things we do that draw attention to ourselves or even the little things we do hoping to receive love in return, but it's measured by the expressions of love we offer when no one is looking and no one knows and we do them just because that's what love does.
Yeah... a lot to think about considering I'm the MOST SELFISH PERSON ON THE PLANET. Well ok, maybe not the most selfish... but come on. I talk about myself constantly... and the only reason I want a relationship w/ someone is because of what I would get out of it. I don't really care about people at all.
I hate being kicked in the face.
Today at brunch, Elenie told me that she just got iTunes and listens to my list all the time because I have great music. I love hearing that... it makes me happy... because music is basically my life.
I'm gonna go eat dinner w/ Concentration, aka Cara, now. Byeness.
love,
church
