"Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you." (1 Tim. 4:16) "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." (Heb. 10:23)

On the windy Brittanny coast of France the Abbe Adolph Juelienne Foure spent nearly ten hours a day, every single day, for 25 years carving more than 300 figures out of a huge section of rock above the sea. The statues tell the fantastic history of the Rotheneuf Family, a 16th century tribe of smugglers, pirates, and outlaw fishermen. Why the French priest devoted the last third of his life to chiseling in stone these craggy creations, no one knows. (From Bible Illustrator)

There is something far more important and profitable than spending years chiseling figures in stone. Let us form and fashion our own lives in accord with God's will, and strive to help others to do the same. And, may the Eternal God help us in this endeavor.
