Kelsey- Lindsay's presentation

I really enjoyed Lindsay's presentation on the church in France. I cant remember the name of it now but when i was in paris last week and went to the eiffel tower i kept thinking about her comparison between the two. Its really cool to see an accidental (i think it was an accident) metaphor between the juxtaposition between the two buildings. Both close in height and two of the tallest things but one made by man, almost saluting his power and progress, while the other the house of God. Not tall on its own but made tall by the God made hill sitting underneath it. Kind of like how we think we can do things on our own and tend to try to make ourselves tall if you will. But christians aren't concerned with being prominent or successful but are made so by God and on the end their success is glorifying to Him. Just like the Church might not be tall or very prominent, but through God it is made to have a great view and be something that stands out. And just life christians they do so in a way that points the Lord- giving glory back to god.
