a love post


"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love."

like anyone reads this anyways

just working at camp 5 days a week for 7 hrs a day.
apologies.
just something little kay?

During my second year of nursing school our professor
gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I
read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman
who cleans the school?" Surely this was a joke. I had
seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would
I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the
last question blank. Before the class ended, one student
asked if the last question would count toward our grade.
"Absolutely," the professor said. "In your careers, you
will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve
your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and
say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson.
I also learned her name was Dorothy.
