Great imagery! Stepping back to see the larger playing field is so tough in day-to-day ministry. However, when I can take my eyes "off the ball," as you suggest, I sometimes discover a bigger, more complex, more involved, and more inclusive view/experience/sight of God's presence in all of our lives. In these moments, I realize God IS the background - that makes up the individual parts of the whole.

Thanks, Luke! I always appreciate your insights.
Amen! Thanks so much, Rob.
