Why the man built proverb

 Why the man built the house there is a puzzle to me. He dug the foundation, the foundation filled up with water, then the slip happened.

 It was built on the opinions of experts. Experts who can be wrong; experts who can be manipulated; and experts who can be bought. The case is like a house built on a bad foundation. If you build a house on a bad foundation, cracks start to show.

 It happened so quick, ... I stayed close to the foundation. I was dodging debris. It was loud, like a roar. It pinned me against the foundation. I didn't know what to do.

 If your house has got a gaping hole in the roof, and water's pouring in and it's undermining the whole house and the foundation, you don't say you're going to double up on the mortgage payments and just keep paying that off, and we're not going to care what happens to the house. You pay attention to fundamentals,

 One of the biggest reasons is to make sure the water flows away from the house. You don't want the water to break into the foundation.

 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

 The foundation was formed in 1994 and our long-range plan was to make the house a unit of the National Park Service. With the park service, they can attend to the needs of the house financially, which the foundation could not do.

 When it rains here, it pours. Because our soil has a lot of clay in it, the water just sits on top. You need rain gutters to get it away from the house foundation. They protect the concrete, siding and walkways around your house.

 So the whole structure is weakened and collapses. Our system ties down the roof joists and rafters to the exterior walls down to the foundation. If windows and doors are broken and the house is twisted on its foundation, the occupants are still safe.

 But now we have a choice: whether to implode and disintegrate emotionally and spiritually as a people and a nation -- or, whether we choose to become stronger through all of this struggle -- to rebuild on a solid foundation. And I believe we are in the process of starting to rebuild on that foundation. That foundation is our trust in God.
  Billy Graham
