We have been shocked and saddened by the tragic human losses incurred by the firestorm on Maui. God's Word implores the living "to teach us to number our days" for ultimately death is a stranger to no one and only God knows our number. This message combines the Maui incident with another tragedy in which a dance floor collapsed, and people suddenly plunged to death. Both events lead us to consider the fragility of life and the daily choice of which foundation that we the living choose to build upon today while we live.
