Ukrainian Brothers and Sisters in Christ - Remember the Battle of Jericho!

Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord[a] have for his servant?”

The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

 Joshua 5:13-15

In the beginning was the Word

 


In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made, without him nothing was made that has been made.  In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

"I am the Good Shepherd" - North to Alaska

 


I am the good shepherd.  The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.  The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep.  So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.  the wolf attacks the flock ad scatters it.  The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me -- just as the Father knows me and I know the Father -- and I lay down my life for the sheep.

John 10:11-15

Kenai Fjords Alaska - "From the Beginning, before the World Began"

 



The Lord brought me forth 
as the first of his works, 
before his deeds of old; 
I was appointed from 
eternity,
from the beginning, before 
the world began.  
When there were no oceans, 
I was given birth, 
when there were no springs 
abounding with water; 
before the mountains were 
settled in place, 
before the hills, I was given 
birth,
 before he made the earth or 
its fields 
or any of the dust of the 
world.

Proverbs 8:22-26
