Sunday School

There is no new news on the housing front. The closing date, and the move-in date are being negotiated. What a hassle.

On the subject of moving into an apartment in which the foundation is being monitored because some of the fill on which it was built has washed away, I am reminded of the song about the bible that we sang at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Greensboro, North Carolina. Flash back to 1985 and imagine 13 or 14 little children singing along with the piano at the top of their lungs and batting at the air with their little hands.

Oh the wise man built his house upon the sand
Oh the wise man built his house upon the sand
Oh the wise man built his house upon the sand
And the rains came a tumbling down.

Oh the rains came down and the floods came up (hand motions pushing air up and then down as appropriate)
Oh the rains came down and the floods came up (hand motions pushing air up and then down as appropriate)
Oh the rains came down and the floods came up (hand motions pushing air up and then down as appropriate)
And the house on the rock stood firm.

Well some of you know what happened in the next verse...

Oh the silly man built his house upon the sand
Oh the silly man built his house upon the sand
Oh the silly man built his house upon the sand
And the rains came a tumbling down.

Oh the rains came down and the floods came up (hand motions pushing air up and then down as appropriate)

...

And the house on the rock went whshwhshwhs (hand motions making a complete mess of everything)

So is this going to be me? Am I the silly girl buying the co-op?

This is Matthew 7:24, in case anyone was wondering
