Jena. There are so many reasons I made you this homemade Valentine.
* I wanted to express my love for you without buying into the whole consumer trap of Valentine’s Day.
* I’m broke.
* Hoping to get some action.
* In approx. AD 270, a Roman priest named Valentinus was jailed for marrying Christian couples. Back then, it was a crime to help Christians be Christian. Claudius Gothicus took a liking to him and was going to spare him but sentenced Valentinus to death after Valentinus tried to convert Claudius. I’d like to think that my love for you is like Valentinus’ love for Christianity. Devotion to the point of stupidity.
Thank God I’ll never have to prove it to that extreme but if loving you was a crime, I hope that I’d be put to death talking the jailer’s ear off about how awesome you are and how happy you make me.
If I had a wife or mother called Jena, she’d be so happy by now.
