Front steps
Posted by Pastor Don A. Elbourne Jr.
On August 29 2005 hurricane Katrina took our church buildings. Nothing but the concrete front steps remained. We found debris strewn in every direction. My Dad snapped this picture of my brother and I on our first return trip to the area 5 days after the storm as we surveyed the damage in disbelief.

I can’t believe it has been two years since Katrina. This picture pains my heart, but then I look at the steps of the foundation + recall the words of that wonderful hymn:
“My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand…”
May the Lord continue to sustain you, Don, and keep you focused + standing on Him, our solid Rock.
