Our building codes insist on current understandings of structural integrity. I noticed this when I helped a friend build his new home in N. Carolina a few years ago. Things had changed in the industry since I worked with another friend building a number of homes. In those intervening years, hurricane bracing had become standard practice to create structural integrity that could withstand great winds.
So, how’s your moral and spiritual integrity? What makes you think you are prepared for the inevitable winds of adversity? When the storms of life come, and they will come, will you still be standing? What are the elements of your strength and integrity? By all means, keep a firm grip on your integrity!
