A friend took some aerial photos of our new church facility and emailed them to me this week. One of them is found on this blog. Taken while flying over Jockey's Ridge, the east coast's largest sand dune, you can easily see how close we are to the Atlantic.
Most of the time that's a great location. From our balcony above the spacious lobby you have a bird's eye view of the ocean. Every day. Most days the ocean is beautiful and non-threatening. But as those of us living on this sand bar know too well, it can also be a treacherous place as well.
A major hurricane would most likely do us in. But that's the price you pay for living in paradise.
The church (I mean now the church, not the building) exists in a precarious environment. Fortunate are we for those days when the surroundings are not threatening to destroy us, but we never know what the next atmospheric front will bring, do we?
But that's the price you pay for preparing a world for paradise. The Kingdom is worth the risk.
