Reflection / Projection

We use three main tools in our gatherings on Sunday morning to view images. We have a source, projectors and screens. It is the partnership and tuning of all three that gives us such crisp clean images each Sunday. You take out one part and the image suffers.

If we shut down the computer which generates the source image the screen goes blue. No words, no images...no communication.

If we pull the screens down the image is cast onto a sorta ugly theater curtain which holds almost no reflective properties whatsoever and the image is toast as well.

If we shut down the projectors, the screens and the source are pointless.

Loose one of the three and the potency of visual communication is lost.

As many of you are, I am thinking about this next year. What type of man do I desire to be at 365 days from now?
I need to reflect on this past year. What lessons have I learned? Where did my choices lead me? How can I learn from those experiences?
Looking into next year, how can I apply those things which I have learned to the way I live each day? I can make a list of resolutions but with no plan or application of the reflection I most certainly will not see any of those resolutions resolve.

I can look back and I can plan, but the source is essential. I follow Jesus. I want him to be seen in every area of my life. Rather than a bigger image of myself next year I want less of me to be seen and more of Him.

Jesus.
Everything is about Jesus.

Everything.
