Sweet Sixteen

The radio discussion this morning was on the nature of the sacred. I find that sometimes God uses music and environment to set a 'sacred' mood and then slips in an important message using the lyrics. This morning, walking back from the paper shop, God reminded me that his love today was essentially no different from his love for me back in those exciting teenage days when I had all the enthusiasm of a new Christian. The medium was a barbershop quartet and the message was "I love you as I loved you when you were sweet sixteen."
