Joshua lead the Israelites across the Jordan to the Promised Land. Okay these photos are no of the Jordan, they are of the Pere Marquette River. Water has long been a symbol of both life an death. Crossing a body of water, even one as tame as the PM can be a dangerous affair. When one leaves the safety of dry land, on some level we face our mortality. To arrive safely on the other side is a taste of new life.
The Ark of the covenant, the very presence of God, saw them safely through the transition to their new life. Likewise, when we cross over to the next life, God will be there to see us safely across.

ReplyDeletePhylis you look well. Palestine? That does not sound like a good area to be in.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane. Actually, what I think Palestine needs is a serious PR campaign. Palestine is incredibly beautiful and is the most interesting and culturally rich place I have ever lived. The occupation is a bit of a brutal drawback, of course. Take care of yourself and much love to you and yours. I wish you all the best on your path.
