But I asked at the beginning of my thoughts, “Are you a lover of the truth?” If you think about it, it would seem odd to ask, “Are you a lover of scientific methodology?” While there may be those who genuinely love methodologies, you generally appreciate or value a method and you love a person. 

Are you a lover of the truth? Or philosophically, can you know the truth? Truth has taken a lot of abuse, especially over the last century and a half. Beginning with Hegel’s musings and progressing through the relativism and tolerance of our age, truth is under fire.

Do you ever get ear worms? That is, get a song stuck in your mind? “We all live in a yellow submarine, / a yellow submarine.” Or, “Under the board walk, / down by the sea." We sang a song in church recently that stuck in my head: “All of You [God] is more than enough for me.”
