The novelist Thomas Wolfe who wrote the classic You Can't Go Home Again, wrote the following words in a letter to Arthur Mann in 1938: "One reason I have always loved baseball so much is that it has been not merely 'the national game' but really a part of… the million memories of America." I can relate to Thomas Wolfe's words. During my teenage years baseball was my whole life. I have memories of playing baseball that I will never forget.
The Bible is saturated with "a million memories" too. One memory Joshua does not want his people Israel to forget was the crossing of the Jordan River after their ancestors had wandered in the desert for many years and then finally entered the Promised Land. Joshua wanted his own people and every succeeding generation of the faithful to recall God's providence that enabled them to enter this land flowing with milk and honey.
