The day after Valentines Day - Candy, Flowers, Cards, etc - most are 1/2 OFF. Discount Love. When we look at how our society handles love and marriage, that is what we see so many people experiencing. Discount Love. Not the kind of love that God designed, but something that is cheaper. Something easier to get into and out of. We are given only half the story.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forthe good; and an evil man out of the treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Luke 6:45
