Verse of the Day: The unfailing love of the Lord never ends! By His mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. (Lamentations 3: 22)

Amazing Fact: In 2012, an estimated 198 million roses were sold on Valentine's Day. Almost 14% of women send flowers to themselves.

Scriptural Pursuit: God sent Jonah to preach in what great city? 
Answer: Ninevah (Jonah 1: 2)

Wacky But True:
Florists and chocolate-makers are working around the clock in the run-up to Valentine's Day.
In Dallas, chocolatier Andrea Pedraza, who loves designer high heels, molded her pedestrian passion into chocolate form.
Her most well-known creations are chocolate pumps.
Prices for the high heels range from $30 to $55, but more if you fill the heel with more chocolates.
Pedraza says men buy the chocolate pumps the most, so she keeps extras on hand for last-minute shoppers.
