Gen 11:4 "Then they said, 'Come let's build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world.'"
This story is simple. The people thought the world should revolve around them, and God saw it differently. This same story in Genesis 11 plays out over and over again today in 2014. On the streets of New York, Paris and Cottage Grove, we attempt to realign the cosmos and redirect it's orbit so that it all spins around us. But it never will. It never has been and never will be about us. In what ways this week have I been trying to realign the heavens? How can I turn the camera away from myself and point it at God and others?
