Decisions (Autumn 2012)
Joshua 25 :15
NKJV
‘And if it seems evil to you to
serve the Lord, choose for
yourselves this day whom
you will serve, whether the
gods which your fathers
served that were on the other
side of the River, or the gods
of the Amorites, in whose
land you dwell. But as for
me and my house, we will
serve the Lord.
Young Alice comes to a fork in the road and asks the
 Cheshire Cat which direction she should take. “‘That
  depends a good deal on where you want to get to,’
                      said the Cat.
        “‘I don’t much care where –’ said Alice.
“‘Then it doesn’t matter which way you walk,’ said the
                          Cat.

        Alice in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll
