Rock and Sand
Hello Everyone,
Hope all is well.
In church yesterday, the priest reflected on a gospel reading which focused on the idea of building a house on rock as opposed to sand. Building a house on rock, as you might expect, is labor intensive, time-consuming and just difficult. Building on sand would be considered a shortcut as it would be faster, easier and cheaper to construct. However, when the wind, rains and storms have their way, the house on sand would succumb but the house on rock….
Although the priest was directing his metaphor toward christian life, I was thinking how that applied to every area aspect of our existence. Relationships, lifestyle choices, careers, buying decisions, etc., benefit from this mindset. Shortcuts serve a purpose and have their place but all too often are based on instant gratification and we sometimes suffer regret at the hands of our decisions. I certainly have made a few of those mistakes. Ok, enough preaching.
I want to wish everyone a happy, healthy and fun summer.
Have a good day.
All the Best,
John
PS
I will be releasing a new video this week that I hope you’ll enjoy.
