As children of all ages and countries who have the opportunity to spend a day at the beach love to build sand castles, learn that these magnificent edifices are susceptible to the crashing waves or the heavy feet of an "enemy", so we see that a spiritual house built on sand cannot stand. A house built on rock is able to withstand wind, waves, and enemy attacks because of it's strong foundation. A spirituality based on a firm commitment to God and his plan for us, a working in concert with him, allows us to withstand the blasts of the culture or the subtle forces that seek to undermine it from within and without.
Advent is the time to solidify our commitment to doing God's will and to purging ourselves of the obstacles that stand in the way. May we continue to seek ways to eliminate the influence of the internet, films, and gossip that take up and waste so much of our time, and use the gained time to talk to God from the heart and build our house on the Rock.
