#redridge

    Dark clouds rolled overhead and screams of terror echoed through the valley from the small village below their Estate. Redridge was under assault and the reports all clearly made the assailants to be Scourge. Not the militarized Forsaken, but a far more lethal and untamed force as though Icecrown itself had suddenly descended upon them. The Estate guard had mobilized and was doing what they could to reinforce their barriers while still assisting the townsfolk where they could. Her first priority was to get as many refugees as possible into the safety of the estate that had wards, walls, and soldiers to defend it.

Twenty-four Hours a Day

We should be free from the lure of unfavorable temptations. It is out of our hands and in the hands of our Faith, so we need not worry about it or even dwell on it any longer. But if we have not cast it aside honestly and fully, the shadows may creep back into our hearts. When we fail to trust our Faith to guide us, we reach out and grasp at the forbidden once more. Then the darkness is ours again, and we find ourselves ensnared as before. We are powerless against its pull, and we fall. Do I trust my Faith to keep me on the righteous path?

Meditation for the Day

No great battle is won without preparation. Every test of faith must be preceded by deep reflection and discipline. If we neglect our moments of prayer and spiritual fortification, our efforts in battle may be in vain. From the perspective of the Light, one weary soldier, rushing blindly into conflict without preparation, is of little use compared to the steadfast warrior who takes the time to sharpen their blade, steady their mind, and cleanse their soul.
