Courage!

It was my turn to give the bible reading at the end of Singers practice this week and I chose Joshua 1, one of my favourite passages, as it speaks of being "strong and courageous". This thought has stayed with me for the past few days, throughout one of the busiest periods in my workplace.

It was pointed out that this phrase is repeated (with slight differences in emphasis) three times in this passage, just to underline it. To help us remember that "the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Or indeed whatever you do.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear - Ambrose Redmoon
