Love through the Eyes of Students

Back in the glorious days of leading student ministry I had my share of long van rides. Mission trips, retreats, and camps all provided some "bonding" time in a 15 passenger van with 17 other people.

On one occasion, the students in the van I was driving, started talking about love and eventually produced the following:

LOVE IS LIKE...

1. A one way street. There is only one way to have it.
2. A winning lottery ticket. You are lucky to have it.
3. A rental car. It's used, abused and returned.
4. A Cigar. It throws up a lot of smoke, then makes you puke.
5. Music. It sounds good, but it is hard to compose.
6. A boomerang. Even when you throw it away, it comes back to you.
7. A yawn. It is contagious.
8. A lightning bolt. You can only see it if you look in the right places.
9. A line. There are a lot of people in it, but only one comes first.
10. Church. It is holy and sacred.
11. A Noise. You don't know what it is.
12. A red, red rose. It blooms in fullness in the spring, then shrivels and dies in the winter.
13. A bridge. It brings two separate things together.
14. A bowling ball. If you throw it right, you just might score.
15. A car wash. It makes your true colors show.
16. McDonald's. Over 6 billion served.
17. A blanket. You can get all wrapped up in it.
18. A yellow light. When some people see it, they floor it. While their cautious counterparts will slam on the brakes.
19. A postal worker. Volatile and dangerous.
20. A Mustang. It is beautiful and it can take you places you have never been.
21. A Porsche. It is high maintenance.
22. Weightlifting. It can make you stronger with a little work.
23. Children. Energetic and frustrating.
24. Communication. The key to everything.
25. Headlights. It illuminates some of the darkness, but you still do not know too much of what lies ahead.
26. Broken glass. It can hurt you and still be beautiful.
27. A flight of stairs. You have to work at it, but it will take you to a whole new level.
28. Trouble. When you are in it, it's written all over your face.
29. Toothpaste. When used correctly, it makes you want to smile.
30. An electric outlet. It will give you quite a shock.
31. A nail in the wall. It pierces the soul, but it can hold up good things.
32. A word search. You never know where you will find the answer.
33. A bus. If you are patient, it will eventually come along.
34. A window. If it is clear you can see beautiful things through it.
35. A Jolly Rancher. Short and sweet.
36. A window in a high rise. It is beautiful to look through, but if you go through it, you will experience tremendous pain.
37. A dictionary. It has many definitions.
38. A credit card. It can cost you more later for what you buy now.
39. Wall paper. It is always there but hardly ever noticed.
40. A short nap. It leaves you wanting more.
41. A telephone call. It ends when you say goodbye.
42. Boiling water. It is hot and steamy to begin with then it becomes cold and calm.
43. A door. It presents the possibility of new opportunities, but it is closed most of the time.
44. A tire. It goes round and round, then goes flat.
45. A vacuum cleaner. It sucks!
46. A gas guage. When it is empty, it usually lies.
47. A rose bush. If you jump in too quickly you will get hurt.
48. Life. To be truly happy, God must be the center of it.
49. A bird. It needs to fly.
50. Rob's driving. It is dangerous, but fun.

Most of all remember this.
