Love: On a separate note me and a friend were talking about love yesterday. He's worried because he's afraid he doesn't love his girlfriend. I told him that might be a problem. He said he's not sure if he loves her or not because he doesn't get that feeling. He says being with her makes too much sense. He thinks she's beautiful and enjoyable and she likes being with her but he wonders why "that feeling" isnt' there.

We talked about this and how we wonder if love changes as you grow up. Those crushes that keep you up at night in middle school. The girl that makes high school algebra worth going to. The reason you ever went to youth group. I wonder if that stuff fades away.

But that's not love. Love is deeper than that, more complex than that, more beautiful than that. It's harder but more worthwhile, it might not be as giddy but it's more passionate. I thinks that's what I was looking for Love is more passionate it should drive a man to do something he wouldn't normally do on a regular basis. It should stretch you and grow you.
