I received the following Email from the Pastor I previously Emailed about their service.
Thank you, Ted, for your message: it was indeed good to hear from you. I'm pleased to know that there is spiritual nourishment from our church to your and Karol's hearts when you worship with us.
About the "facing" of the mural...The main intent is that we face the altar where the offering has been placed, all facing the same direction with the congregation. Perhaps the eyes too far up might suggest that feeling of "worship" of the mural which I would certainly not want to imply!
I thought I would share with you a wonderful experience for me: the development of a new approach to daily Bible reading. Here is this site.
Hope to see you and Karol soon

I thought the pastor's explanation was good. He didn't go into a long response, nor did he side step your question and concerns.
Perhaps this will give him some food for thought which might lead to a sermon on the subject.
I liked the link he sent regarding the bible study website. If you chose a verse and tell it to include the Study Notes, you get a wealth of information.
There are so many translations to pick from. King James is certainly good; however it does get difficult at times. The NIV is very popular and especially nice for regular reading. I lean towards the New King James - keeps close to the original but is a little easier to get through.
Love the blog! Keep up the good work.
