"I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth. Therefore, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who causes growth." -1 Corinthians 3:1-9

Song of Songs
Was reading through Song of Songs last night and saw this nice line that goes with my thoughts on dating and love,
Beyond the textual wisdom offered, I highly enjoyed the culturally-appropriate image on many levels (including phenotype). Often times the most powerful books in the Bible (Psalms, Proverbs etc) are wholly appropriated as purely Christian, with no reference to their Jewish mutuality (and vice versa) as is often the case with jealously-guarded identities, of which religion is foremost (I think). I thought the fact you chose this particular image w/Hebrew script was interesting and revealing of a highly admirable inclusive approach to what is your Sacred Book. And that is Love. :)
