I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son. Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

What is love?
What is love? This is a question that has been pondered, poemed, painted, pinpointed, pontificated, and perused since Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden.
