    Without getting all "preachy", I ran across this today and it made me think....looks like I have some work to do.

    Try this test, put your name in place of love, and see how you measure up...

    1 Corinthians 13:4-7 4 ______ is patient; _____is kind. ______ does not envy;_____ is not boastful; _______is not conceited; 5 ______does not act improperly; _____is not selfish;_______ is not provoked; ______does not keep a record of wrongs; 6 ______finds no joy in unrighteousness, but _____rejoices in the truth; 7 _____bears all things, ______believes all things, ______hopes all things, _______endures all things.

    Neat find, rwagoner!

    Although I aspire to eventually put my name in most of those places, I'm not terribly concerned about being able to put my name in the following ones:

    _____bears all things, _______endures all things.

    because that would make me a masochist and/or a martyr.

    ______believes all things,

    This one would mean that I'm gullible and easily led.

    ______hopes all things,

    This one would mean that I have a poor grasp on reality.

    I'll pass on those, but thanks anyways!

    If I lived up to all of that all of the time I'd be a robot or something not human.
