It reminds me of the verse in Song of Solomon that says, <br /><i> Set me as a seal upon your heart,<br /> As a seal upon your arm;<br /> For love is as strong as death,<br /> Jealousy as cruel as the grave;<br /> Its flames are flames of fire,<br /> A most vehement flame.<br /> Many waters cannot quench love,<br /> Nor can the floods drown it. </i><br /><br />Thank you for joining us on our grace-journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743242671098131372.post-77995251720377687322010-02-27T02:38:55.348-06:002010-02-27T02:38:55.348-06:00Thanks, Lydia.

Even though I was intimidated by teenagers and wasn't really a fan of chili, I couldn't turn down the chance to hang out with you. Much to my surprise, I loved both the chili and hanging out with the youth girls. Your chili (and our friendship) played a role in God's process of leading me into youth ministry and teaching. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08509129931968185069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743242671098131372.post-17832759323054104002009-11-08T01:13:24.396-06:002009-11-08T01:13:24.396-06:00Dawn--Those were the days, my friend!
