It won't be long before Freehold will show off its fine fall colors. The uniform lawns will turn brown at the same time, and, because we all plant the same flowers, they will fade like they are under the direction of a might conductor (they really are, of course).
I so fortunate to be invited into Freehold homes often. The great food and conversation is one of the gifts of this job.
One thing I've noticed in homes is of a little concern. It is the increasing number of abstract art works above living room sofas.
It is my view we need to use the display of art to further our Christian faith. If art does not portray anything, how can it make people more Christian?
And, it not like there are not enough real scenes we can display. There is the old man saying grace, leaves, flowers, fruit bowls and, of course, Jesus himself.
My thought is, don't leave guest confused about what your faith is by displaying art that might have been painted by an atheist. Display real art.
