Happy Valentine's Day

I was doing a little research on Valentine's Day. Some sites suggested that it was from a horribly pagan tradition and that we'll probably end up in a hot place if we celebrate it. Others talk about St. Valentine and how he was a martyr. Here's a nice article about St. Valentine http://www.crosswalk.com/spirituallife/509916/

To me, Valentine's Day is a perfect time to remember the greatest love of all.

The Apostle John had a lot to say about love. Here are a few verses from his letters.
