Joshua 3 tells the story of the Israelites crossing the Jordan River from the east to enter the land the Lord had promised their ancestor Abraham over 500 years prior in Genesis 15:18-21. Israel crossed the Jordan River that day on dry ground as the Lord stopped up the waters, reminiscent of the Jews’ passage through the Red Sea forty years earlier. When they had crossed, the Lord commanded Joshua in 4:1-7 to oversee the building of a memorial made of 12 stones, one for each tribe of Israel, to commemorate the miracle of the waters of the Jordan. “So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial forever.”
It is my intent that this page will be a memorial to the Lord of his mighty works in behalf of myself and my family. It was begun today, January 21, 2013, to celebrate a recent event but will reach back to include some important dates and to share Dana’s and my testimonies.
Psalm 27:13–14
I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living!
Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!
