When the Foundations are Destroyed
I put in at the personal watercraft beach at Hillsdale Lake. I had my Humminbird Depth and Fishfinder and map of the lake with me. On the map are the foundations and debris of homes when the lake was built. I headed out to find the remains of several homes. The transducer for the depthfinder is a float that trails behind my kayak. The screen is worn around the wrist like a watch. I found the remains of one home in about 20 feet of water southwest of the Jayhawk Marina. All of a sudden the depth was about 9 or 10 feet and as I checked the screen, sure enough, there was the outline of a lot of debris with fish swimming around it. It was kind of sad. I couldn't help but think of the state of homes in America today. Homes are unraveling at the seams. 52% of young people are growing up in single parent and broken homes today. Families are the very foundation of any stable nation, and the future of our nation is very much at stake. The second site of remains was in about 30 feet of water. About 20 feet down on my screen was the debris of a house. It was probably a proud house at one time. Now, it just debris totally swallowed up by the lake. Sadly, it reminded me of the debris left behind in marriages today. Even born again people are bailing on each other for the slimmest of reasons. The future of our churches and nation is bleak indeed when the foundations are nothing more that debris.
