CoT: I love memories. But memory can be cruel if left unchallenged. Memory is often our only connection to who we used to be. Painful or passionate, surreal or sublime, we cherish those little rocks of peak experience, polishing them with the ever-smoothing touch of recycled proxy living. In so doing—like pagans praying to a sculpted mud figure—we make of our memories the gods which judge our current lives. Nevertheless, we must take care not to let the bliss of the present fade when compared to supposedly better days. We’re happy, sure, but were we more happy then? If we let it, memory can make shadows of the now, as nothing can match the buttressed legends of our past. Do not let memory chase you. Enjoy memories, yes, but don’t be a slave to who you wish you once had been. Those memories aren’t alive. You are. – Brandon Sanderson, Tress and the Emerald Sea

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Grunt –

COT
• 1. Faith in God’s Plan
The Israelites’ victory at Jericho shows the importance of trusting in God’s plan, even when it seems unconventional or difficult. God’s instructions to march around the city for seven days, blow trumpets, and shout might have seemed odd, but the Israelites obeyed, and their faith was rewarded.

• 2. Obedience to God’s Commands
• Success came through strict obedience to God’s commands. The Israelites followed God’s exact instructions without deviation, demonstrating that God’s ways are higher than human understanding.

• 3. The Power of Unity
The Israelites acted as a unified force, marching together around Jericho. This highlights the importance of collective effort and shared faith when pursuing a goal.
