Scripture Sunday: Matthew 11:28

"Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28 This wasn't the original scripture I had chosen for today.  But after seeing it, and after the computer lost my original picture, I figured I was just supposed to post this one.

Lately, I really feel like God has really been putting the topic of persistence on my heart.  It first came up when I read the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:2-6.  Here's how my Bible reads: "...In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.  And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.' For some time he refused.  But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care what people think, yet because…
