“Not long ago I was building sand castles on the beach with my daughter. With some success we built a large castle, dug a moat around it, and surrounded it with smaller castles and turrets decorated with shells. She was proud of her work, and we enjoyed being absorbed in our task. But eventually—and to her great surprise—we had to retreat as the tide encroached and the waves engulfed our handiwork. The foaming water returned our project to a knobbly patch of ordinary beach. How long do sand castles last?” David Gibson
Life is short.
“Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths. . . Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!”
(Psalm 39:5)
