I am going to venture out for one Terrible Tuesday student today, because it doesn’t involve stairs or bass-carrying.

Thanks for sharing your Mom’s story, LTOS.
I was pretty young but I remember when the war ended. Fresno was pretty young at that time, but everyone was driving up and down the streets honking their horns. We did not venture into the downtown area. It was exciting enough out in the burbs.

Anchors In The Storm
May 21, 2014
Read: Joshua 1:1-9
When Matt and Jessica tried to navigate their sailboat into a Florida inlet during Hurricane Sandy, the craft ran aground. As the waves crashed around them, they quickly dropped anchor. It held the sailboat in place until they could be rescued. They said that if they had not put down the anchor, We would have lost our boat for sure. Without the anchor, the relentless waves would have smashed the vessel onto the shore.
We need anchors that hold us secure in our spiritual lives as well. When God called Joshua to lead His people after Moses death, He gave him anchors of promise he could rely on in troubled times. The Lord said to him, I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. . . . The Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Josh. 1:5,9). God also gave Joshua and His people the Book of the Law to study and observe (vv.7-8). That, and Gods presence, were anchors the Israelites could rely on as they faced many challenges.
When were in the middle of suffering or when doubts start threatening our faith, what are our anchors? We could start with Joshua 1:5. Although our faith may feel weak, if its anchored in Gods promises and presence, He will safely hold us.
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviors love. Owens
When we feel the stress of the storm we learn the strength of the anchor.
In todays reading, God encourages Joshua who has recently replaced his predecessor, Moses. Gods past faithfulness to Moses must have brought great comfort to Joshua: As I was with Moses, so I will be with you (v.5). For us as well, Gods faithfulness in the past brings courage for the future.
