More on the cast of characters of the GP.

Sarah is also on staff, and the first time I met her was when I walked into our hotel room way back on May 31, the day the staff meets up in NY. Sarah smiled at me and as our eyes met, it was love at first sight...of sorts.

I'm not sure if I'm explicating myself well, but I think God's shown me so much about agape through my relationship with Sarah. I still can't fully fathom how much I love her--so much so that it leaves no question in my mind that it flows directly from God's love for Sarah. There was such an interesting immediacy to my friendship with Sarah--that sudden, unquestioning affection for and affiliation with her. A weird sense of futurity and prescience about our friendship--it was this sense that I knew instantly and without a doubt that we were already great friends, and even though we didn't much at all about the other person at that moment--I could already see the kind of friendship we would have. The friendship God intended us to have.

I think that's the purest kind of love at first sight--to See a person and to have the Vision to regard them immediately with the love God regards with them.
