I am using your boomerang illusion with the ME and THEM. But I am adding US to the back of each boomerang. I will tie in a quote I found from Rev. Paul Lutter in S&S Preaching: In God there is no Us and Them, there is only Us. Here is the last part of the sermon: If we move these apart and then stack them together, we find they are the same size. In God’s eyes, ME and THEM are the same. We are all God’s children and God loves each of us very, very much. In fact, in God’s eyes, there is no ME and THEM. There is only US. And so we love each other, and we forgive each other, and we pray for each other and we treat each other as we want to be treated.
Thanks for the great idea!
