WITHSTANDING THE WINDS
When a house is well-constructed it weathers the storm. A friend of mine owns a house on the northern beaches that simply became run down with age. Its on a headland, exposed to all the elements, especially salt spray and strong winds. When Jim rebuilt the house a couple of years ago, he went to the extra expense of ensuring the roof could withstand cyclonic winds. It cost a bit more, but it was inevitable that the winds of destruction will come howling and threaten the integrity of the structure.
It’s just as inevitable that the winds of destruction will come howling through our lives.
