Love Affair

Today I read John 15. When I opened my bible I chuckled because John 15:1-10 was one of my memory verses from camp as a kid. This camp I went to gave us points for our team when we memorized scripture. I guess it was not a bad thing because I still remember that passage fairly well. I thought I would breeze through this chapter, but at the end of the chapter Jesus is warning the disciples that the world will hate you like it hated Jesus and his message. I thought to myself, does the world hate me because of my message. Then I thought can the world hate you when you are having a love affair with her? I look at myself and my students and I wonder if we are to in love with this work to be effectively sharing and living for Jesus. I guess just something to ponder while I play facebook games while watching a movie in my comfy bed in my nice dry house enjoying my electric fan blowing on me.
