0:00.0	Amen.
0:03.5	Amen, amen.
0:04.6	Welcome to the Church of 1122.
0:07.1	If you have a straw, and I know you do, why don't you go ahead and grab that, bust that baby out, and we're going to have a little group activity this morning to start our time.
0:17.6	Currently, the ushers are preparing some breakfast smoothies that they're going to be bringing
0:21.1	out and passing up and down the... I'm kidding. I'm kidding. No keys for you. Hey, grab your straw. We're
0:27.4	going to do a little group activity. I think that'll help set the way for where we're going in our time
0:32.2	today. So if you have your straw, I want you to grab it. I want you to not think about smoothies, but I want you to close one eye and then look through your straw like it's a telescope. Just look through it,

1:19.3	The straw's up. Everybody look at the image. Tell me what you see. Ready? One, two, three, go. Well done. Well done, my friends. Well done. All right, you can put your straw down for the time being. We'll be coming back to that in a minute. Here's what's interesting about that experiment, about that little group activity, is that I would contend to us today that this is often how
1:46.4	we see the world.
1:48.9	We see it through a very limited perspective.
1:53.2	Now this perspective is informed by a great deal of many things.
1:56.9	The way we grew up, where we grew up, the culture we grew up in, the most significant points of pain in our life, our parents, all kinds of different influences form our view or our perspective.
2:10.4	But what happens over time is that we begin to use our perspective to inform how we live.
