Hot Air Fun

Would you like to ride? We have some fun to share.
We talk of animals and birthday cake, and sometimes even air.
We even solve some problems, like getting lots of gas,
Just put the politicians in balloons, and give the planes a pass.

They would be very safe, of course, they’d never land too hard.
With all that hot air that they share, they’d hardly even be jarred.
In fact, they might not land at all, and won’t that be a shame?
I’d sure be famous after that, for I’d be the one to blame!!

Keep At It!

Read: Isaiah 55:6-13

My word . . . shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please. —Isaiah 55:11

Bible In One Year: Psalms 51-53; Romans 2

They know Tom Dotson pretty well in the prisons of Michigan. They ought to. He spent more than a decade behind bars.

Tom gave his testimony at the annual banquet for prison chaplains in Muskegon, Michigan. He said he had grown up in a Christian home but had rebelled and rejected the gospel. His wife, who sang at the banquet, stayed with him in spite of his repeated failures. A prison chaplain faithfully worked with him, Tom genuinely surrendered to Jesus Christ, and his life was changed.

Dotson urged Christian workers,“Continue on in your ministry with people like me, no matter how frustrating. We may have lots of setbacks. But don’t give up. There’s power for change in even the most frustrating person through the sacrifice of Christ, the One who really sets us free.”Then, looking right at the chaplain who had patiently witnessed to him, Tom said tenderly,“ Thank you for not giving up on me."

God will “abundantly pardon”all who come to Him (Isaiah 55:7). His powerful Word can bring change (v.11), freeing men and women from the prison of sin (John 8:32).

Are you about to give up on someone you think will never change? Don’t! Keep at it! —Dave Egner

Be not weary in well-doing,
Though your labors cause you pain—
There could never be a harvest
Without sowing of the grain. —Anon.


Instead of giving up on a person, give that person to God.
