In the Way of the Storm

As the rain descended, the floods came, the Winds blew, and the stream beat vehemently upon a house; but It fell not. It could not even be Shaken because it was not founded upon the Earth, but upon a Rock. The foundation was laid deep, and the Man who built the house dwelt safely for considering that the Assaying would come, he heard and took precaution, and Nothing of his household was lost. But there was another man who seemed right in his way, And the rain descended, the wind blew, the Floods came, and the stream beat vehemently upon his house, and at Once, it fell: and great was the fall Of it. It was laid upon the earth, and the Labor that was labored in it was in vain. It was built with no foundation ans was easily Shaken by the violent winds and waters, so the House, moved by the torrents, collapsed, and destruction was the end of the Man who built the house for considering not that the Assaying would come; he heard and took not precautionm, and Nothing was left of his household but ruin.
