Building on the Sand

by Cindy

They have been trimming the trees here in the desert.  It's funny to me because here they trim the top of the trees, not the bottom.  It does make a bit of sense, considering that all we have is sand and when the wind blows, the trees often topple if they are too big and too top heavy.  But it does make for some funny looking trees.

It also reminds me of this from Matthew 7:24-27, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
