The Ever Peering Eye
John 17:20-26

There was a story I once heard of a small New England town which had a tall steeple in the middle of it. The stranger to town noticed that the steeple was boarded up with plywood. He finally had to ask why. A local told him that the steeple had a stained glass window which depicted the eye of God. You know, like the one on the dollar bill, one eye, signifying the all knowing, always watching God. It turned out the village folk did not like that eye. It made them nervous, it watching them everyday, all day, 24/7. And so the church finally agreed to board it up.

Oneness is scary stuff.
