love

i realized as soon as the idea crystallized in my head that this was going to be cliche for the month of february...but there is no turning back at this point.

our little band of community that meets at our house every wednesday night (for about the past 4 years) has been talking about love the last several weeks. we have been talking about the way in which we show love to others in particular. and to be very specific, we have been chewing on the idea that we show love through action and how that changes us as individuals and hopefully as a community. it has been great and insightful conversation. we have been open and vulnerable with one another and shared deep examples of things going on in our own lives that are challenging us to show love. because love isn't always easy.

so i put it to my few faithful readers: how do you show love? and how does love change you?
