A new look and a new outlook...

Here is a shot of the new living room configuration. We are just wild about it. It makes the space seem bigger, and no more bruised hip bones from running into the piano top while walking by the sofa. I think it will work better for our study group, too.

We are about to start a study of Focus on the Family's The Truth Project. This is a study about world view, and more specifically, Christian world view. I think the tag line, "Do you really believe that what you believe is really real," is a nice summary of the topic.

Jill and I were privileged to go through the Focus on the Family training program for this study, and we are very excited to share it with our friends. It is telling to watch the first lesson and see people trying to define truth. Our culture has lost track of what truth is. The answer most frequently given by the man on the street in the interviews conducted for this study was, "Truth is relative." On the other hand, Christian scholars and theologians define truth as reality from God's perspective. I believe this study will cause each member of the group to take a hard look at his faith, his beliefs, and his approach to interacting with the world. We are told by those who have completed the study that it is life-changing. We shall see.
