Love is... 40 Days of Love - Introduction

A while back, my wife and our life group did a study called The Love Dare Bible Study. Some of you might have heard of it as The Love Dare was featured in the movie Fireproof. During that study, and one of the last things I did was to make up these small cards which outlined each day in a simple reminder of what Love is, and a bible reference to where it is mentioned in the bible about what Love is. For example Day 1 is, Love is Patient with a bible reference of Ephesians 4:2.
Over the course of the last year I have gotten further and further away from my time with God and spending time reading the bible. I have tried a bible reading plan, that quickly got derailed. I got derailed ever since I stopped another bible study I took through Southeast called DC. I took a break, however, my break is continuing and it is absolutely hurting me inside.
As a result, I recently found this card I made up during The Love Dare, and thought to myself, what a perfect way to try to get back into things. So, as a challenge to myself, and a challenge for something that I have wanted to do for a long time, I am going to be writing a brief blog post about each day and some thoughts I have about each verse.
I am doing this namely for myself, but I feel that anything I write, might be useful to someone else. So, if you find anything helpful, then please view it as a gift to you.
Love is such a funny thing. One minute you think you might have it all wrapped up, the next minute, it's as if you have no clue what you are talking about. We are all on the roller coaster of Love, and with each twist and turn, we always get thrown for a loop sometimes. Let's just hope that we can all get grounded on this concept of Love, albeit for a brief few minutes :)
PS. I do NOT consider myself any sort of expert on the bible, nor do I consider myself any sort of expert on Love. I am merely writing what I feel about each day, and what I get out of each day. I consider myself an average Joe writing about these passages, and putting my thoughts into a blog form.
