A love kick

I'm working on some projects today, so I decided to strap on my ipod for the "ride" that is papework!!

This one song on my playlist stuck out to me unlike before. The song is You Wanted More by Tonic. These lyrics in particuarly hit me in the face today.

Love is color
Love is love
Love is never saying you're too proud
Love is trusting
Love is honest
Love is not a hand that holds you down

There is no separation in the sacred and secular...Christ can be found in the midst of the chaos. I don't know about the spiritual health of this band, but I know that these few lyrics depict the struggle of pursuing and living out love in the way God intended.

I hope the love I am pursuing reflects the qualities painted by this lyrical collage of emotion and experience.

Back to Jesus.

If you study the miracles that Jesus per…
