You know, it's interesting you bring that up. If love was an emotion, then I'd agree with you. Jesus always seemed to illustrate love as an action, usually a kind of caring. He never described it as a feeling or an emotion. I tend to agree with him.

Feelings are so fleeting, wouldn't you agree? Is that what you think love is, a feeling?

I like that. Great
