“My Best”
There is an urge within my breast,
To give the Lord my very best,
In thought, in action, word and deed,
This has become my whole life’s creed.
I want to fit into His plan
Be of help to my fellow-man.
Plan the things that I should do
Before my work on earth is through.
It may be out in

I went to visit Malinda’s mother in the hospital two weeks ago, because her pastor was elected DS and hadn’t been able to be there. I felt I was to pray for her staff infection to go away, but not for the cancer they feared was back. I honestly reasoned God will not take the cancer away with her

Joe Craig, Tucson, AZ, was nearly 4 yrs old. He was well-behaved except for one habit--he didn’t like to wear shoes. When it was time for his first Vacation Bible school, his parents told Joe he must keep his shoes on at church. He nodded in agreement, but they worried about his ability to resist

Walt Disney is given credit for an important one-liner: change is inevitable; growth is optional. Nancy Adler likens the challenge implied in this truth to a hot-air balloon ready for flight. The only thing preventing the balloonist’s soaring into the air is the load of sand ballast holding it

Perseverance
When all the world is looming dark
And things seem not so clear,
When shadows seem to hover ’round
Lord, may I persevere.
When it seems everything’s been tried
And there’s no way to go,
Just let me keep remembering
Sometimes the journey’s slow.
I may just need to stop and rest
