Part of me wishes that I was young enough to do some or those road trip activities but then part of me does not want to go anywhere.
Thanks for the road trip and God Bless America.

January 9The Leaning Tower
Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Matthew 7:24Youve probably heard of the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, but have you heard of the leaning tower of San Francisco? Its called the Millennium Tower. Built in 2008, this fifty-eight-story skyscraper stands proudlybut slightly crookedlyin downtown San Francisco.
The problem? Its engineers didnt dig a deep enough foundation. So now theyre being forced to retrofit the foundation with repairs that may cost more than the entire tower did when it was originally builta fix that some believe is necessary to keep it from collapsing during an earthquake.
The painful lesson here? Foundations matter. When your foundation isnt solid, catastrophe could ensue. Jesus taught something similar near the end of His Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew 7:2427, He contrasts two builders, one who built on a rock, another on sand. When a storm inevitably came, only the house with a solid foundation was left standing.
What does this mean for us? Jesus clearly states that our lives must be built through obedience and trust upon Him (v. 24). When we rest in Him, our lives can find solid ground through Gods power and unending grace.
Christ doesnt promise us that well never face storms. But He does say that when Hes our rock, those storms and torrents will never wash away our faith-fortified foundation in Him.
By: Adam R. Holz
Reflect & Pray
How has your faith helped you to weather the worst storms youve faced? What are some practical ways you can strengthen your faith each day?
Father, storms are inevitable in life. Help us to choose to dwell daily in Scripture and strengthen our strong foundation in You.

Good evening, mountainlion...they would certainly keep you busy, and you would get plenty of exercise.
Is your road still passable? Warming up? We might see above zero on Sunday.

The road is icy. Drove to my house for the first time since Thanksgiving so now I get to see if I can get out. It was warm and windy for a couple days and now below freezing for the 10 day forecast.
Stay warm. Be blessed and protected.
