Evangelism this week: Don’t grow weary!!!

Here is a picture of my eldest daughter and her friend on the sidelines of last weekend’s Veterans Parade in Long Beach. She had to get up several hours earlier than usual for this event, but after an all-nighter at our church’s Jr. High sleepover, she was wiped out. When I shouted, “D. D.! D. D.! Get up!” they slept on. When the marching band with the pounding, rhythmic  drummers passed by, they slept on.

But the main reason we want them to read everyday is…
