In light of recent events<\/a>, I am bringing this post back up to the top. Got the blues? First, may I suggest a 3-minute retreat?<\/a> Then, dip into these waters\u2026<\/i>

We are called to love one another<\/a>. A cursory look at the New Testament will show this time after time. But guess what? Love hurts too, and we all know it. Betrayal, denial, loss. These are the pathogens \u00a0of our brokenness.
<\/a>
The songs in today\u2019s MfM<\/i>\u00a0set list move through the stages of Love that we all encounter. But we\u2019ll be skipping the puppy love sweetness and head straight to the hard stuff.<\/p>\n

Because love and forgiveness go together like peas and carrots, wrapped up in the to-go box called the blues.<\/p>\n

Soft Cell,<\/b> Tainted Love\/Where Did Our Love Go.<\/i> Whatever happened to these guys? Search me. But this hit was epic among the denizens of One Hit Wonderland. Their original song melding into the hit by the Supremes struck cords with many regarding a truth about the \u201cdouble-edged\u201d nature of love.<\/p>\n
