All kidding aside, this is the tough part of the Love commandment. Loving the unloveable, annoying, or perverse person is extremely difficult. But that is how we're supposed to evidence the difference.
As Jesus says in Matt. 5, anyone can love people that love them, and even the Gentiles do so. We're called to be radical lovers of everyone.
I want to be known as a radical lover of someone. Like Joel Upham, or that skateboarder always hanging out around the ice cream factory. At the rate I get to know people I'll never love everyone but I can list a few people.

that's gonna be tough considering your past record of being radically annoyed by everyone.

I really must agree...besides, Robb, loving my big sis is enough for me-can I take a pass? :)
