WalkThisWay

Kinda a Harry Potter induced post.... Yeah, I'm a nerd

I am predictable to an extent. When authors or directors or anyone that writes a story, i feel how they feel. I'm always for the good guy and against the bad guy. Two things this week has made me question that. J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and Joss Whedon's Dollhouse.

In Harry Potter, it was chapter 33 of the 7th book. In this chapter, Harry has gone into a memory of the recently deceased Severous Snape. In this memory, Snape is going over his relationship with Lily Evans (Harry's deceased mother). From the time that he (Snape) met lily, you can hear the level of admiration through his memories. He truly cared for her. The love that Severous felt for Lily is what changed his life.

I feel that love is just that. Utterly and completely life changing. Kinda like in twilight where Carlisle tells Edward to be careful of having relations with Bella, and how it might change him. Then says that is already changed by his love for Bella.

On a separate point. I really want to go on the Amazing Race. Looked into it this afternoon and you need to be 21. So, forget looking forward to drinking when I'm 21, I'm going to be applying to the Amazing Race. :)

Back to love, I feel like that's how you become anew in your life. Through falling into love with God. There's a song that describe just that. A relationship with God that's based on God, not the semantics.

I got the lyrics off Air1.com (wonderful station BTW)


Jason Gray - More Like Falling in Love


Give me rules
I will break them
Give me lines
I will cross them
I need more than a truth to believe
I need a truth that lives, moves, and breathes
To sweep me off my feet
It ought to be

(CHORUS)
More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love

Give me words
I'll misuse them
Obligations
I'll misplace them
'Cause all religion ever made of me
Was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet
It never set me free
It's gotta be

More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love

It's like I'm falling in love, love, love
Deeper and deeper
It was love that made
Me a believer
In more than a name, a faith, a creed
Falling in love with Jesus brought the change in me
It's gotta be

More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love
It's gotta be

More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love
It's like I'm falling, oh
I'm falling in falling
It's like I'm falling


All relationships should be based on love. The different types of Love that C.S. Lewis wrote about. Your whole life should be about loving others.

Here's a challenge, Read 1 Corinthians 13 with your name in place of the word Love. Is it a true statement?
