Hear the words of Joshua 1 verse 9.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be discouraged.

For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you may go.

Grace, mercy, and peace to you, fellow redeemed children of God, members of St. Paul's, Lutheran, and Winnicott, to the family and friends of Pastor Ben Berger and to my friend Ben Berger.
