It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perserveres. Love never fails. Oh, it goes on, so read it all.
Nobody says it any better.
Finally, to the anonymous person who sent roses to your columnist, bless you. What a lovely, random act of kindness. They are quite beautiful on my desk. Lucy Tobias is a Star-Banner columnist.
