Romans 13
"Don't run up debts, except for huge debts of love you owe each other" (Message)
This chapter consists of reminders concerning how we should live. I stopped on the one about debt and love. Did you ever consider having a debt of love? It is an interesting concept. But think of the people in your life who have invested themselves in you. Your parents, children, spouse, friends.... Consider how much they have invested in your life, often without asking for anything in return. This is not a debt we have to repay, but we do repay it every time we invest ourselves in someone else. Our lives are blessed as others have invested in us and our lives are blessed as we invest in others.

The verses that particularly spoke to me were "Love your neighbor as yourself... Love is the fulfillment of the law." I have been so concerned this week in reading about the "hate" church group (Westboro Baptist out of Kansas)that will be picketing the Holocaust Museum,various Jewish charities and a couple Catholic churches in the area. It is almost unbelievable that a church could call itself a "hate group." I know we are not to judge others but I am so concerned when something like this happens in the name of our loving Lord and Savior - and worst of all - preaches hate!
