So, since it's St. Valentine's Day is anyone gonna listen to The Last I Do?

never heard of it.

It's in Album 44: Eugene Returns.

My sibs and I listened to The Last I Do. It's very fascinating, since Valentine was catholic... it's hard to know exactly what to do with love frames like that. You can't frown on it, love is love, you generally can't help such feelings. On the other hand, Catholic priests have been expressly forbidden to marry since the beginning. Since Valentine was so big on families, you'd think he'd understand that giving your love and life entirely to God can't work with giving your life and love entirely to a family.
None of that is to say the episode has anything wrong with it. It's very beautiful, and in places has some good ol Odyssey humor. It's just theologically it's a curiosity.

It's a very enjoyable episode but I also never knew what to think of the theological side...plus I don't believe in healing.

Goodness, one has to ask... why on earth don't you believe in healing? It's not only the Bible, it's scattered through history to the very present day.

Duhhhhh!!! Of course

Sage, I have known dozens of people, personally, that have been healed. There's no way you can convince me God still can't heal people.

Yeah, I'm not Charismatic at all, and my denomination is one of the most conservative you can find when it comes to spiritual gifts, but healing is definitely around present-day. I just don't believe that God has specific people who are "healers" and can deal out healings to whomever they wish.

We own this episode....I find it a nice, historical episode. The story is certainly interesting, and it's sad that practically no one even knows what Valentines Day is all about...the history behind it, anyways.
