What's next?
Last weekend Steve and I toured Fallingwater, a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The house belonged to the Kaufmanns. I may be misspelling the name, because it's late at night and I'm baking pies, and I my contacts are blurry, but ANYWAY....
Kaufmann's -- remember the department store? Those Kaufmanns. Their son was a student of Wright -- the connection that created the business relationship that lead Wright to design the house.
It is built into a waterfall, with each floor cantilevered, allowing the walls over the water to be mainly windows -- the outer walls didn't need to support the weight of the floors above. It's a masterful design, incorporating the house into its surroundings.
Wright was 67 when he drew the design. He thought he was retiring, reaching the end of his career. The house was a turning point for him, and after that, he designed over 200 more houses.
We can never predict what will happen next, what use God may have for our lives.
