God's love for us drew us into relationship with him, and I contend that this loving relationship then influenced us into obedience to Him. We work toward and remain in obedience because we do not want to lose relationship with God. Even when we are not obedient that relationship is still there for us. God never withdraws his love. This is how God teaches us to have and be in relationship through mind, body, and spirit regulation.ARTArticleV-Day- the Most Stressful Day of the YearWhen you are in a committed relationship, Valentine's Day is the most important day of the entire year.

Long before budget airlines, it was a very big deal when people would travel to other countries. So much so that friends and family would go to great lengths to show up at the airport just to wish that person ‘bon voyage’. Often the departing person would be asked to seek out and bring back a particular spice, cosmetic, or other luxury item, because such items were either unavailable or exorbitantly priced in Singapore.
