Getting Even
“The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.” ~John E. Southard I Peter 3:9-10 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling , but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called that you may obtain a blessing. For whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. .

Endure by Max Lucado If you live in a world darkened by sin, you may be its victim. Jesus is honest about the life we are called to lead.
