A Love Song “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world -- the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions -- is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” (1 John 2:15-17)

It's because I like you, I don't want to be with you. It's a complicated emotion. I hate sunshine! I hate horrible, wholesome sunshine! I hate it! I hate it! I hate, hate, hate! Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them!

Do You Know Your Disney? The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake. I didn't make it all the way through third grade for nothing. Let me get this straight. You know her. She knows you.

I'm gonna hit you so hard, it'll make your ancestors dizzy!
