My friend
John asked if I could draw something that he hoped to use with his two sons as an instructional guide. He wanted an illustration depicting the two houses that Jesus talks about in
Matthew 7:24-27. There He describes two houses—one built upon sand and the other built upon rock. A storm comes along and, of course, the house built upon the rock fares much better than the one built upon sand. The story raises the question about what we're building our lives upon—something solid, or something lacking substance?
I put this doodle together and sent it to John. He wrote,
"I think you are perhaps the most gifted cartoonist I have ever known! Wow! Excellent! Thank you!" Now, I think John was a bit over the top there—just a bit, but I really appreciate the remark and just had to share it with you.
John was kind enough to allow me to post this doodle here for your viewing pleasure. Drop by
his blog and tell him that you think that he is the most gifted blogger ever, or something to that effect.

I love the story of the rock and sand houses so much. I pray that many people will want to establish their faith and life on The Rock!
