Dear Friends,
Want to know what gets over 12,000 "likes" on Facebook these days? A sign that says, "A spouse is a friend and companion who is always there by your side to help you resolve the big problems which you wouldn't have if you were single." After 15 years of marriage, I can sympathize. Yet in the words of my favorite February song, My Funny Valentine, "your looks are laughable...unphotographable...yet you're my favorite work of art." Love can only survive, and grow, if it is unconditional. Yet who can love unconditionally, without a lot of help? Let's pray that this month we can all learn a little bit more about loving our spouses, our co-workers, and even our enemies despite their shortcomings. To the degree that we can do so, as Lorenz Hart wrote, "each day is Valentine's Day."
Hoping to see you at one of Marlene's Valentine shows (in Tokyo or Osaka), or at another of my many performances this month.
Your friend,
Steve
Jesus said, "You have heard that it was said, `Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." (Matthew 5:43-45)
