Colossians 3:14

Preparing this talk was difficult

Not because there is nothing to say about love
- we could line the freeway from here to San Diego with books and papers written on love
• clinical studies, philosophical essays, poetic explorations,
◦ not to mention all the books by religious authors
• but all this information has made little impact on our nation
- maybe it was just a tough week week for me – too much exposure to sorrow,
• but it feels like love has reached an all-time low in the world
