Foundations

No trip to Italy could be complete without a day trip to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Field of Miracles. They say that all the major life events happened on the Field of Miracles: you were dedicated to God in the baptistery, got married in the church, had all major state events in front of the Leaning Tower, and were buried in the cemetery.

This speaks for itself. We tried so hard! ;)

The single reason the tower leans is because of the soil upon which it is built. As I stood contemplating the marvels of the tower, I couldn't help but think about foundations. One should always look and consider what you are building on before you begin. In Matthew 7:24-27 Jesus narrates the parable of the wise and foolish builders.

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who build his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sad. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a crash."

Think about what your life is built upon.
