I just got a passage from the bible and the lyrics for "The Love Boat" from girl. Not too much to say, except that the passage she sent me was vaguely familiar. It took me a few minutes before I realized.. Yes! I HAVE heard it before, very recently, like at a.. wedding! Dusty's wedding in fact. So I quickly grabbed the little wedding pamphlet and checked to see which passage of the bible was recited during the wedding, and sure enough, it was the same one. I was thinking of posting it here, but it's rather long, so I'll just throw up the reference: 1 Corinthians 13.

Not just weddings... you also heard it in 'Ghost in the Shell'. ^_^v

Really? I definitely don't remember that.. Of course, I don't generally remember much to begin with. (Had I got the e-mail message next week for example, I wouldn't have made the connection with the wedding.)

We see through a glass, darkly.
Not the stuff about love never failething, etc., but it's in there.
When I was a child, I spake as a child; I thought as a child; I understood as a child. When I became a man, I put away childish things. ... Now I abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Great passage.

Hmmm.. I had always thought it was "faith, hope, charity.. greatest of these is charity", which apparently is only in the KJ version. Quite a different angle.
Anyway, book1-corinthians13:11 is a great line.

The "charity" translation is given, supposedly, because the "love" referred to in the original text would not accurately be translated as romantic love, rather, a love-thy-neighbour sort of fraternal love. (lessens its Valentine's Day relevance, but it's cool anyway).
