Nemo The Snowstorm and Love Quotes

Since we are in the midst of digging out of a major snowstorm in the Northeast and I've just spent time shoveling snow and cleaning off my car, I started thinking of thoughts which could lift my spirits. Since it is close to Valentine's Day and also the beginning of Lent, I thought I would share some quotes about the importance of love. After all, the entire New Testament can be summed up in one word and that word is love. Jesus's life was filled with love, love for God the Father, love for his disciples and apostles and love for the most forgotten and marginalized in society. Jesus spoke of love and acted with love and sadly the world still doesn't get his important message (for the most part). NJA
