24“Therefore, everyone who listens to these messages of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on a rock. 25The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, but it did not collapse because its foundation was on the rock.
26“Everyone who keeps on hearing these messages of mine and never puts them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and battered that house, and it collapsed, and its collapse was total.” (Luke 6:47-49)
There are times when you might want to give up. Maybe a whole lot of things aren’t going your way; or maybe a loved one is being tried. Maybe, yet, you have lost the zeal for life and nothing seems to fill the void. Don’t give up! Just like the verse states, fasten to the right foundation stand firm to it.

In this entry you will see a link to some photos of the nation of Haiti. Said to be the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, this country has been hit 2 – 3 times by large storms and hurricanes. The result has been fatal for many and stifling for the rest. The photos show the results of the latest storm, Hurricane Gustav. CNN Story
The only way the nation as a whole will survive, all depends on their foundation. Only when the storm hits do we know if our foundation is strong enough.
