From The Beat by Allen Parr
[God speaking] “’Be strong and confident and courageous,
for you will give this people as an inheritance the land which I swore to their
fathers and ancestors to give them.
“’Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do
everything in accordance with the entire law which Moses My servant commanded
you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper
and be successful wherever you go.
“’This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth,
but you shall read and meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful
to do everything in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you
will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful.
“’Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed or intimidated,
for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.’” Joshua 1:6-9
“The Book of books is, we may say, a library of sixty-six
books bound together in two volumes, the Old Testament and the New
Testament. The word testament means
covenant or agreement or arrangement.
It refers to God’s means of dealing with the human race from
the beginning of time. The Old Testament
pertains to things before the coming of Christ.
The New Testament deals with God’s arrangement for salvation after the
coming of Christ.[1]”

Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still
