"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the
Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." (1 Cor. 15:58)
Dressed as a rag doll, Melody Schick, 24, sat on a revolving platform with a teddy bear cradled in
her left arm and stared into space. Only her eyes moved. After five hours and forty-three boring
minutes, she arose slowly and tried to smile. Miss Schick was seeking to beat the world record for
sitting still. The previous record was five hours and thirty-two minutes. The record attempt took
place at a Dallas shopping center as hundreds of shoppers watched.
Sadly, there are some members of the church who could compete for that record. They have been
"sitting still," in the Lord's work, not only for hours, but for years.
Let us be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.
