Don't Be A Fool

"There is never a fear that has not a corresponding "Fear Not."" Amy Carmichael

Jesus is the rock, everything else is the sand. Simple as that!

We all have heard the story of the foolish many building his house on the sand. When the winds blew and the storm came, the house blew over.

Then, there was a wise man who built his house on a rock. When the winds blew and the storm came, the house stood firm!

Now...we all know that no matter where we build our house the winds are going to blow and the storms of life will come. We know that the house will rock. So why not start out wise and build on a solid foundation? Why not build your life on something solid, something you can count on and trust, and not worry about the end result?
