Brave Joshua to Canaan leads.
In Judges often the Jews rebel.

Hey Ciny!
Thanks! Wish I could say that I wrote it, but I didn't. A few years ago, I bought a book called, "WHAT THE BIBLE IS ALL ABOUT". The poem was in the 1st Chapter, called, "Understanding The Bible".

Glad you enjoyed it!

Love you sis!!!
