Landslide

One day not too long ago I heard helicopters flying over the house. I'm used to hearing them often, and didn't think too much about it. Then I realized that they weren't going away, and thought that something must be going on. My mother in law called and said that about a half of a mile from where we are staying there had been a landslide. I got on the internet and read about what was going on. In the midst of working to prevent a landslide, they actually caused one. Unfortunately, an expectant mother and a three year old child were killed.

Several days later we passed by the area took some photos of the destruction.

You can see how the houses are built right on the edge, and they had begun to put concrete on the hills near the top to hold them in place.

Many houses were destroyed. It's amazing that more people weren't seriously injured or killed.

This view from the road without zooming in shows how tall this hill is.

These boys are playing soccer on one of the levels near the top.

I can't help but be reminded of the illustration in the Bible of the foolish man building his house on the sand, and the wise man building on the rock. How many of these people are building their lives on nothing but sand? We must get busy and tell them about THE ROCK.
