The Things We Do For Love…

DVUSA

I woke this morning, as I typically do, with a song playing in my head. The song, titled above, was released in 1977. And yes I was alive then.
As I hummed the song this morning, I thought about where and who I was back then, who and where I am now, and how I got here. I thought about the people in my life who have and do love me, and those I love. I found via a search, that what I thought was the 2nd commandment “Love your neighbor as yourself”, was not on the original 10, but rather the 2nd of 2 of the most important laws/rules per Jesus in Mark and Matthew.
