This is a great song. It is has a great deal of personal meaning for me. I listened to an interview with George Jones recently in which he said this was the song he'd always wanted to write, kinda like the apex of his song-writing. It is a real love song, about how human love is incomplete because we are not capable of loving as we should, as we are created to love. It is a reminder that God is love. He Stopped Loving Her Today is our T-giving traditio. In case you don't know, George Jones (who with me and Tom Jones is Welsh) is a punk rocker!
Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."
