I SAY IT'S LOVE

RUPP ARENA, RUPP, RUPP, ARENA......RUPP ARENA, RUPP, RUPP, ARENA!!!

I'm sorry, I'm still a little carried away after last night's UK game against Florida. Two things keep running through my head, one is the above chant. It's what the high school basketball fans chant when their team is headed to the state tournament at Rupp Arena......it's a joyful chant to hear, if you get the opportunity. We love our hometown teams!!!

The second thing running over and over in my head is the song I mentioned several blogs ago by Sugarland. It was, coincidentally, performed at Rupp Arena for the video. I like coincidences. Anyway, I mentioned in the blog how I wished I remembered the Bible verse that mentions faith, hope and love. I actually thumbed through the new testament looking for it, but didn't find it. Several days later, while listening to country radio, I heard Allen Jackson's "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning". He mentions that same verse's sentiment in the song. Well, I wondered if I had just been thinking of those lyrics, and still didn't know the actual verse.

I am always busy when I am at church. I like to greet people between Sunday School and Church, and I also get to update the attendance board up front each week. I'm often distracted, to say the least, and often miss things during that time. I was at home one afternoon and noticed the church bulletin that had been in my Bible, brought home from church the previous Sunday. I took a glance at it, then another. There it was on the front of the bulletin, as big as you please, "And now these three remain: FAITH, HOPE and LOVE. But the greatest of these is LOVE." (1 Corinthians 13:13, NIV ) Well, I glanced upward and said, "thank you".

As I was saying, Sugarland performed this song at their recent concert at Rupp Arena. I love the words. It's all about love and how we define love. Jennifer asks, "Is it the face of a child?". Christian sings," Is it a man on a cross?". I know they're both right, and the answer is Jesus, the answer, is love.

I just wanted to document my little mystery solved about 1 Corinthians 13:13. It's gonna be a windy day today. We have a lot of dangling limbs outside. I'll definitely be careful when venturing out with the doggies.

You have a great day and stay safe, luv, Susan
