Me:  How is your time going with your friend?

Prodigal:  Her heart is colder than a tombstone in January.

Me:  Well, maybe this will make her heart softer.

Dan Crawford, the successor of the famous explorer, David Livingstone, was known for carrying a copy of the New Testament in the pocket of his jacket.  After he died, this poem was found penned on the flyleaf of his well-worn book:

I cannot do it alone!

The waves dash fast and high;

The fog comes chill around,

And the light goes out in the sky.

But know that we too shall win in the end–

Jesus and I.

Coward and wayward and weak,

I change with the changing sky;

Today so strong and brave,

Tomorrow too weak to fly.

But He never gives up,so we two shall win–

Jesus and I.

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

Proverbs 2:21
