Katrina: Mud & the Rolex

I was in a neighborhood along the Gulf Coast that had been totally wiped away. These were houses that had cost many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Gone. There were only foundations and piles of debris. As I was walking among the foundations, I looked down and saw a watch in the cracked mud. It was getting late. The sun was setting and I was losing the light. I shot a few frames and thought nothing more of it till I blew the image up on my computer days later. The watch was a very expensive, diamond encrusted Rolex. The things we think are so important are really meaningless. Jesus always put relationships before everything else. Before things. Before achievement.
