"Doing" verses

These verses give some things that we should "do". Enjoy!

Romans 12:9-21

⁹ Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. ¹⁰ Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. ¹¹ Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. ¹² Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. ¹³ Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
 ¹⁴ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. ¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. ¹⁶ Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.^[c] Do not be conceited.
 ¹⁷ Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. ¹⁸ If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. ¹⁹ Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”^[d] says the Lord. ²⁰ On the contrary:
   “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
   if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”^[e]
 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

The Ship and MaryLu Tyndall

One of my favorite authors, MaryLu Tyndall, has a blog called Cross and Cutlass. I love her books and I have read all of them! She writes Christian fiction, but what I love about her writing is most of it is about pirates. Yes, pirates. Her books are very fun!!!

On her blog, each week, she posts what she calls, "Wordless Wednesday". It is always a really cool picture! This week, I really liked the picture and I thought I would share it! Here is the link: http://crossandcutlass.blogspot.com/2011/08/wordless-wednesday_24.html
