Between Sunday night touchdowns we enjoyed writing it. We laughed about the illustration, building with a dirt foundation and creating a flood. We giggled about the idea of sticks falling all over the place and the utter joy of permitted destruction coming upon the face of a child. We laughed until tears came to our eyes as we thought of accidentally knocking down the building built on rocks and trying to explain that God does a better job at building than this demonstration. And then we sent the lesson overseas with a prayer and a smile.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The foolish man built his house upon the sand…<\/div>\n
And you know what happened.\u00a0<\/div>\n

– to God be the glory.
– love and hugs to Theresa and Will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
