My brother's on crack
The other one's gay...
Was listening to Ear Candy by King's X today. In fact, for the last couple of days I've been listening to mp3 CDs of KX in my car. What's cool with mp3 CDs is you can burn albums and title them in chronological order, so it'll play from one album to the next. So, I went from the self-titled album to Dogman to this one. But who cares? The song I'm refering to underscores the tight bond that family holds. We love our family members with an unconditional love. So, if my brother is on crack and another one is gay, I love them. It's a wonderful thing to have family. They should all be so healthy as to have unconditional love. None of us have the perfect family, we all come up short; but yet that beautiful unconditional love is not too far away from most families.
If we can widen our scope of "family," we can influence others with love. That'd be pretty cool, huh?
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. BUt the greatest of these is love."

There's a piece of our heart that's most like Him, thriving on love and loving. Being loved, even in our weakness and our frailities and our failures, is what melts us into puddles on the floor. When genuine love softens the hardness of our hearts, then we're able to openly receive His grace.
