Brainerd: in the midst of darkness

Thursday, December 27, 2018
    Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist
Meditation:
Even though I walk
    through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
    —Psalm 23:4 (NIV)
Quotation:
    It is good to follow the path of duty, though in the midst of darkness and discouragement.
