If you have a favorite quote or a favorite scripture that you would like to have read for the thought for the day, please submit them to Rev. CC.

The thought for the day is a quote by Rev. CC in honor of Valentine’s Day: Be careful not to fall in love, but rather to grow in love. Anything you fall into, you can fall out of. But when you grow in something, it takes root and can withstand the seasons of life.
