Saturday, January 5, 2018, the last day of Christmas

                    _________________Joshua 1:1,2,5,6,9_ 

   

    

   After 

   the 

   death 

   of 

   Moses, 

   the servant  of the Lord, the Lord spoke 

   to Joshua… Moses' assistant saying, 

    “My servant Moses is dead. Now 

    proceed to cross the Jordan… 

                                          As I was with Moses, 

                             so I will be with you; I will not 

                        fail yor forsake you. Be strong 

          and ourageous… for the Lord your God 

will be with you wherever you go. 

This was prefect on so many levels today; for me 

personally but it is also perfect as Christmas comes 

to an end and  the the coming of the Magi; (and then 

what?) as the Holy Family sets out on their flight to

 Egypt to survive the despotic King Herod; St David’s 

moving forward,; the nation entering  into a new

 phase;  and the funeral for Arnold Fenton today, 

our long agointerim priest with whom I served as 

parish liturgist;  And for his for wife and family. 

Head's up!  Life is changed, but not ended! 
THAT is  dead. But I’m still here. up!
Let’s go!  Onward!
