Well I'm praying Texas has a cool summer this year. I'm sure your friends hope so too.
The past few weeks here have been drop dead gorgeous and HOT. I even got a bit of a sunburn yesterday sitting outside!

We do plan on visiting around after we get setled in.

If I were to come see you in Texas, would that mean I might get to meet PO too?

Maybe if you travel a bit further southwest. That would be great!

The Word instructs us to love everybody, but it doesn't say we have to like them...........

Well, if I could get my husband to allow me to meet "imaginary" friends, we might could work that out. Just don't hold your breath.

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends
Do you really think it is easier to love than to like someone? Why?

Re: I can't stand someone!!!
PO, pray for her, and it will be therapeutic for you!!! And ask God to give you the wisdom to deal with her personality. I think some of the most difficult people to deal with are those who have been hurt.
However, I DO know what you mean. And...that's as far as I'll go with that!

I've heard that cliche a lot of times, and I think there's a little truth to it. You can be kind TO someone, and genuinely want the best for them, without liking how they are as a person.
I don't think it's easier to love. I think it's the meaning of love that matters--you can love someone unconditionally, which means, even if you don't like them. Love isn't something you say so much as something you DO.
Haven't you ever been angry with your husband? Or a parent? You still love them, right? Just because you're unhappy with someone, or don't like them (temporarily or permanently) doesn't mean you can't or don't love them.
Hence: You have to love everyone, but you don't have to like them.
