1 John 4:7-10:

Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only-begotten Son into the world so that we might have life through him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.

St. mark 6:34-44:

When Jesus saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. By now it was already late and his disciples approached him and said, “This is a deserted place and it is already very late. Dismiss them so that they can go to the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” He said to them in reply, “give them some food yourselves.” But they said to him, “are we to buy two hundred days’ wages worth of food and give it to them to eat?” He asked them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out they said, “five loaves and two fish.” So he gave orders to have them sit down in groups on the green grass. The people took their places in rows by hundreds and by fifties. Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to Heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; he also divided the two fish among them all. They all ate and were satisfied. And they picked up twelve wicker baskets full of fragments and what was left of the fish. Those who ate of the loaves were five thousand men.

*I feel that the word LOVE is the most mis-used word in the English (or any other) language… To me, the ultimate (perfect) love is to care about a person’s soul… to be concerned with whether s/he makes it to Heaven or not…

I tend to think that by that definition, we humans have a long way to go… in knowing what love is…* 😦
 
I’m clueless about anything invented past the year 1985…

don’t know what a podcast is…
Try just clicking on the box that says “MP3”. You don’t have to subscribe to the “podcast”. As long as you have a MP3 player on your system and speakers you should be able to hear it. MP3 players include things like Real Audio, Windows Media Player, etc. Depending on what version of Windows you are using it may already be part of your system. They also have a link to help you if it doesn’t work and you are still interested in listening.

If a human were to be presented 2 fishes and 5 loafs of bread in the same condition, what would left is 12 empty baskets and 2 sets of fish’ skeleton, and someone is beaten by 5.000 hungry men, excluding the woman and children.

If Jesus is presented by few, He will multiply that few to feed the plenty. If human is presented by few, human tend to consume that few for him/her self so none others will get any share.
