I learned about perspective in art class when I was kid.  The idea is that all things in a picture lead to a point, or possibly two points.  The lines are straight and give the imagination the idea that there is depth in the picture.  That’s what I remember anyway.

In a way, it’s nature’s way of giving the eye a focal point.

Lesson for church: What’s our focal point?  Everything should point to that.  Stop fighting about which pencils to buy and start discerning how Jesus is calling the congregation to carry out the mission.
