...not really (it just makes for a good headline, i think)
Well, well, well. It's back to work. I am opting out of going to the Sonshine Festival this year (unlike every other year for the past I don't know how many), which is good, because it should allow me to "catch up" and be ready for the next issue's deadline.
Did I mention that I got some new business cards made up? I like 'em, because it has the magazine masthead on the left, like a sideways mag; and then I used that cool fuzzy blue light on black background image that was the background for the TFK article in the latest issue. (It's the little things)
A lot of people (I'm not sure if it's "most") refer to Song of Songs as a frank expression of passionate, physical love. Kind of like a love song put to 8 chapters. I've long believed, though, that it's in Scripture for more than one reason. One is, I think, to show a glimpse of physical love from an approving, joyous Father's perspective. Sex is a gift that God has given us with joy. It also, perhaps, mirrors the passionate love that He feels for His people -- us. Certainly He is in love with His creation. Certainly He cares for His people. So one thing that this book does for me is reinforce the notion that there is a God in Heaven who loves me to the max. In Him I find lots of security, affirmation, and self-worth. He lifts my countenance. I can't help but love Him back.
Cornerstone highlights to come here soon. I have to get my bearings straight (and caught up) here first.
