Money Can’t Buy You Love
The Beatles “Can’t Buy Me Love” rose to No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 1964. It’s been covered over the decades by performers from The Chipmunks to Ella Fitzgerald to Michael Bublé. While the lyrics start off with:
I’ll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright
I’ll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
He’d be a lot happier if:
Say you don’t need no diamond ring and I’ll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can’t buy
Marriage Is A Journey (To State The Obvious)
Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance … and your choice of partner.

Do you have a tight-lipped smile that shows impatience or sarcasm? Listen to the tone of your voice. What emotions are you projecting?
Great Sex According to God
Jerry Lawson, the lead pastor at Daystar Church in Good Hope, Ala., has taken the Devil by the horns with his sermon series, “Great Sex: God’s Way” with titles such as “Devil Lies to Couples,” “Devil Lies to Singles” and “Devil Lies to Teens.” Has his congregation grown? You betcha, big time! He’s managed to accomplish this in a conservative county where you can’t legally buy beer while using an actor playing the Devil, advertising on local billboards and promoting the series on the Daystar Church website. The Cullman Times (the local county newspaper) quotes him as saying a big reaction is exactly what he wanted. “Absolutely, we wanted to shock people,” Lawson told the newspaper. “Talking about the issue proactively is the key.” Here’s one of the videos:

True Love At Second Sight
I just saw “Princess Bride” for the umpteenth time last night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s corny, schmaltzy and I wondered is there really such a thing as “true love” or the “perfect farm boy”? Well, I guess the Universe thought my question was sincere enough to toss me an answer via the love story of Stacy and Audie, celebrating their 11th wedding anniversary today.
