Beliefs are like the tides

Reading thru some of the things I’ve posted in the past I came upon this quote of Richard Beck:

For me, beliefs are like the tides, they ebb and flow. But how I treat my neighbor, how I practice my faith, should be constant and unchanging.

I like it. Beliefs are like the tide, and the tide comes and goes, and what you do everyday is more important than whether the tide is in or out at this moment. The big question, when living near the tide, is what you did. Did you build your house on the rock or on the sand?
