Joshua 1:7-9
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
There is a repetitive reminder in this chapter to be strong and courageous. Something that is very important for us in our life. We have this strength and courage for three basic reasons.
1) The words to say our in our mouth. They will not leave the tips of our tongue as long as we are meditating in them day and night.
2) We succeed in life because we study the Bible and focus our life around it.
3) We know that always God is with us, and will be by us wherever we go.
Our part is to just stay in His Word, and be strong and courageous in the face of any opposition. Afterall, greater is He that is in you then he that is in the world. That counts for circumstances too...
Looking forward to Preaching Confrence and then May,

Looking forward to at least two things....
I finally got around to looking at those things... very flattering words of encouragement. I thank you.
Haha... then, some not so flattering pictures from Pastor Voegtlin..

Nice pictures. I like the looking down thoughtful pose, with the one hand out as though you are prepared to gesture just in case you have something to say. I predict you do.
But of course... But I do not know what to say...
Doesn't mean you won't say it!
