Earthquakes are prevalent in the Pacific Rim region known as the Ring of Fire. Ninety percent of the worlds earthquakes and 81 percent of the worlds largest earthquakes occur there. I learned that many buildings in the city of Hong Kong have been built on granite, which could help minimize damage in the event of an earthquake. The foundation of buildings is especially important in earthquake-prone regions of the world.
Jesus Christ told His followers that a stable foundation is critical in building lives. He said, Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock (Matt. 7:24-25). The foundation of Jesus Christ is what will give us the stability our hearts and lives need now and into the future.
By allowing the Lords wisdom to guide us in our relationships, decisions, and priorities, we find that He provides the most trustworthy foundation any life could be built upon.
INSIGHT
: Here, at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus returns to a theme He had already discussed earlier in this messagethe Fathers will. In Matthew 6:9-13 Jesus teaches His followers the model prayer, which begins with Our Father and continues with Your will be done. The Father is the object of our worship and devotion, and in everything we want His purposes to be fulfilled.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today?
Did you have an excellent repast for Easter?
My son was stationed there, going through missile school when he first became a 2nd LT. He had an apartment in Lompoc and I visited him once or twice while he was there. He drove me around where the launch pads were. Very interesting place, and a pretty base.
Thanks, galz, for the great thread!
Yes Ma’am, Thank you
I hope you did too!
Never been there.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you have a Marvelous Monday?
Nice Easter service? Dine with friends?
I spent a wonderful weekend at Pendleton. My son and I visited the vintage aircraft museum at Miramar on Saturday, and found the Hell House statue on Sunday at the Warrior Hope and Care Center. http://www.woundedwarriorregiment.org/index.cfm/wwbnw/hopeandcarecp/
I have pictures but need to park them somewhere so I can post them.
We had a good service, but I was alone afterwards. Oh well..I spent most of the day on FR! LOL!
Oh...and a Copyright certificate for a song one of my students wrote arrived today in the mail. It took them a YEAR!
I have been writing songs for 40 years and this is the first time it has taken more than 60 days.
Good evening, Luv...((HUGS))...I’ve been there too.
That was neat that your son could show you around.
Beautiful for sure.
Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...it’s a nice base. I got shown around the fire station by one of the firefighters. In his off time he was a volunteer in our volunteer department in the city where we lived.
Those trucks that take care of aircraft, etc, fires are HUGE!!! It was cool!
