Joshua 1 - 10

Joshua was told by God to be strong and courageous.

Rahab showed godly fear by rescuing the spies and accepting the fate that was bound unto her own people.

River Jordan upstream stopped flowing and priest stood on dry ground in the middle of the river. The hand of the Lord is powerful.

It's as if the israelites that grumbled with God caused the time of the wilderness to last 40 years! It could have lasted a much shorter time!

The sons of those men were now circumcised. And the amazing part is through that God forgave the people's sins from Egypt and the manna stopped that very day! Wow!

The famous march around Jericho for seven days and its wall came down. They destroyed everything in it. Hectic! Through this Joshua became famous.

God proclaims that people must surely follow him and do exactly what he says.

God shows a pragmatic side of him that we shouldn't wallow in our self-pity but that we should focus on making things right with God first. So they stoned and burned the sinners.

The city Ai was destroyed by the israelites through a very clever ambush. No survivor no fugitives. The king was hung on a tree. Then Joshua read the entire law to all including children and the aliens among them.

The people were deceived because they didn't not inquire of the Lord.

Then God sent hailstorm to kill the amorite kings and Joshua asked for the sun to stand still for a full day until the fighting was finished.

Joshua and his army was very effective in destroying the cities. No mercy only strength and courage and all done in one campaign. Wow!

Life and It's Lemons - update

Awesome #camping. The great #outdoor #country #goodliving #instaphoto #life2full I must say we're a bit rusty as I almost forgot the tent and forgot to bring a long enough extension cord. My lovely wife @kantue packed cheese but only brought a plastic butter knife. #letthegoodtimesroll via Instagram http://ift.tt/1AzRUNf

Added a FIFA Brazil Widget to my blog

So after an enthralling UEFA Champions League Final, it's on to Brazil for the ultimate showpiece. I must say that my wife and I had plans to go to Brazil albeit financial constraints that kept us at bay. In any case, I decided to add a widget to the blog showing off and passion for the event and the game itself. Let me know what you think of it. Enjoy!
