Foundation Issues

Here's a random factoid: much of Ashland, MO is on a water table. While this will probably never be on Jeopardy, the effects are important. This is where my parents' house is located and they've had foundation problems ever since they first moved in when I was still in high school. Because of the water table, the weight of the house causes the ground to shift and the foundation to begin to crack, this in turn can cause cracks in the walls and ceilings, and eventually if nothing done, could split open the house. Relax if you're worried, they've been working on resolving the issue.

The relevance of my parents' house is this, for any structure to remain strong and whole, it needs a good foundation. My thoughts have been on this for a couple weeks now. Previously I asked about showing your work and how this is essential to math, but is also important when we say "Jesus is the Answer." Now my thoughts are zeroed in and revolving around these verses:

"By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:5-6
