Where was this picture taken?

(Picture taken by Andrew)

The original photo is above, the adjusted picture is below. At first I thought the stars were hanging, but when I lightened the picture it looks like they are table centerpiece decorations. The place looks like it could be a coffee shop or something, with small, round tables and tall chairs. In the lower left quarter of the picture, you'll notice the word "march." Because of the odd angle, it almost seems like a reflection of something, as though the picture was taken through a window. I can see people standing in the left side of the frame. It really makes me wonder where it was taken. What made me curious, originally, was my thinking that it was taken at Pam and Andrew's house in Tennessee. Pam likes to decorate the house in the fall, in preparation for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

What Gandi observed in our church


"I like your Christ, but I do not like your Christians.
Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
-Mahatma Gandhi


Jesus told his disciples, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:34-35)

He set a new standard of love by which all men would judge His followers. Jesus knew that if Gandi walked into a Christian church and saw discord among its members that it would reflect negatively on His reputation. Love and unity between Christians should be the proof that Jesus is real and that His message is revolutionary.

I, too, am so unlike Christ.
