After the flogging he be left t’ dance with ol’ Jack Ketch.   Arr, he went t’ Davy Jones’ locker fer ye. But, he didn’t stay like buried booty.  Smartly, he didn’t stay in the bung hole.  No, begad he beat that ol’ scurvy dog th’ Devil and came back t’ life. – fer ye an’ fer me. Now you don’t have t’ be a bilge rat. You be as beautiful as th’ sea herself. Yo-ho-ho!  Forgiven, Shiver me timbers, Grab you bosun, alert the Cap’n, it be time for a shantey.

So heartly enjoy th’ day.

Romans 6:3-5

(Pirate Version)
3Or don’t ye be knowin’ that all o’ us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his Davy Jones’ treasure chest? 4We were tharfore buried wit’ him through baptism into Davy Jones’ treasure chest  in order that, just as Christ was raised from t’ went t’ Davy Jones’ locker through t’ glory o’ th’ salty sea-do ‘o a Father, we too may live a new life. 5If we have been united wit’ him like ‘tis in his Davy Jones’ treasure chest, we gunna certainly also be united wit’ him in his resurrection.

(New International Version)

3Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

5If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.

Yo Ho Ho

Sink Me!

Avast ye scurvy landlubbers!  ‘tis be day me hearties ’n me have been itchin’ fer many a fortnight.  Tis be th’ shore leave o’  talk like a pirate day.  Shiver me timbers! That’s correct, Sunday be Talk Like A Pirate Day.

T’ celebrate, I gunna be reposting some scurvy pirate speak from 08 ‘n 09 through th’ shore leave.  Also me gunna be tellin’ ye a tale.

If ye be thinking me be addled, belay that ‘n handsomely use ye deadlights to read on.

Lads and Lassies, We have been giv’n much loot and have much t’ g’ve.  Take ye a gander at what th’ old salt Paul says in Galatians. Blimey!

Arr, ye, me brothers, war called t’ be free. But do not use your freedom pillaging, looting and chasing swag; rather, swab th’ decks with ye buckos in love. T’ entire law be summed up in a sin’le command: “Love ye mateys as yeself.” Galatians 5:13-14

Avast, me don’t think we just lay ‘bout and become shark bait.  Gar, me hearties, press on smartly ‘n honor th’ pieces of eight ye have been given
