Isolation

This is the cabin that we go to at Christmas. It sits way up on top of a mountain in Sevierville, TN. It looks somewhat isolated, but if you look read hard, you can see there's another cabin slightly behind it. There are actually cabins all around it. There is enough distance for privacy, but they are there.

When you go inside of the cabin, you can look out to the other mountains surrounding it and see other cabins sticking out of the mountains. It really is an awesome sight. They look like they are all alone, perched up there and could fall at any slight push.

However, take a look at the base of the cabin...it is solid. It is built way down into the mountain with lots of concrete and rebar and all kinds of other building material "terms" that I have no idea what they mean. But that cabin is not going anywhere. It is built on a very firm foundation.
There is even a hot tub up on the balcony with gallons and gallons of water in it that will hold a lot of weight...and still...it holds firm!

My family moved to a new home in November of 2007. We are somewhat "isolated". The home we moved to has no familiar faces and there are no Christian families that live here. There are many liberals and older people who don't want to be spoken to but we have pretty much been isolated as far as friends go.

Our church home is terrific. However, it is one hour and fifteen minutes away and while we have become involved with the youth group and have loved being a part of that family, we do have to travel extensively and we can't be there as much as we would like.

But then we look closely, what is it we see in the background...we have precious friends who moved at the same time we did..and they are standing somewhat closely in the background. We had dinner with them last night. (Breath of fresh air)

And my home is not too far across the mountaintop ... I can peer out... and there are people there who still love me. And my home is built on the Rock. The solid Rock. It's not going
anywhere, it won't be moved and it won't fall over. Thank you Jesus!

ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND, ALL OTHER GROUND IS SINKING SAND, ALL OTHER GROUND IS SINKING SAND...AMEN
