Deterioration of Autumn

There are times when we see only what we want to see. We separate the nice words, the pretty pictures, the most vibrant coulours, and tend to ignore everything else, even though it is part of the whole picture. But this makes the picture incomplete as is the above photo. I isolated the best of the Autumn colours and left the rest black and white. Nice to look at but somehow incomplete and not real. As a Christian, I see this happening in the church. New, exciting, different, and revolutionary concepts, all to make the message relevant, attractive and contemporary. But beware the black and white elements, although not as evident and attractive, still need to be seen, to complete the picture.
