The Lo-o-o-ove Issue



"I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar."


"Love is like a booger. You keep picking at it until you get it, and then you wonder what to do with it."


"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."


"If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?"


"I recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry. That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste."


"Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After marriage, the "y" becomes silent."


"Marriage is like pi. Natural, irrational, and very important."


"The four most important words in any marriage...'I'll do the dishes!'"


And one final thought..."Forget love. I'd rather fall in chocolate!"


Hey gang! With Valentine's Day just around the corner (it's Sunday...as in this Sunday) I figured we could all use a good laugh at the expense of love. Have a good laugh at the above quotes, but be sure to express your love to someone special this Sunday. The words, "I love you," are loaded with nuturing and healing potential. Tell a spouse, a child, a parent, a friend, tell somebody that you love them every chance you get.


This Sunday, Jamey Ragle will be back at NHA and will be speaking into our "Vintage Church" series on the importance of love in the Church and also about the mission of the Church. Small groups start this week and next, be on the look out for details concerning our women's small group, couples/mixed small group, and youth small group. And don't forget about the NHA baptism on February 28th! If you would like to be baptized, contact me (Jared) at jared@newhopeashland.com ASAP.


Have a great week!
