The ground trembles - foundation begins

Link to Deepen Our Roots: The Journey is fun

The church I attend is in a building project.  It's at the stage where it doesn't look like much is happening.  This seems to happen at the beginning of a project and toward the end.  Those are the toughest times for a church building.  People are excited about the fund raising at first but then foundations get started.  Foundations on buildings and in people are boring and slow.  There isn't much sexy about a foundation.  It doesn't seem like much is happening.  Without it you won't have much structure. 

The other tough time is after the structure is in place and it looks done from the outside but there is still a lot of finish work to do inside.  That's another time, not there yet.

To build a church you need a good foundation for the building but you also need a good foundation for the people.  It is too easy to want a quick solution but that's not how quality is built.  Anyway our pastor wrote the above post (link provided) and he is trying to make sure the correct foundation is laid...before the concrete one is poured.
