Siamese Twins

Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs

This rock formation in the Garden of the Gods is known as the Siamese Twins. Looking at the top of these rocks you can understand how they got this name.  

However, this not the usual picture people take of these rocks. If you look closely at this picture you will notice that at the bottom and just to the left is an opening in the rocks.  

If you do Google image search of the Garden of the Gods it doesn't take long and you'll view a picture of Pikes Peak through that hole. In fact, when I took this picture above I also to one through that hole, and it hangs in my office.

I took the obligatory picture, then decided that I needed to tell a different story; a story you don't find as often as the iconic one of Pikes Peak.

The story is of inter-relatedness.

"So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord." Ephesians 2:19-21 English Standard Version 

We are joined to each other in Christ's body. God intends that when people look at his church they see a unity flowing out of our relationship to the cornerstone, to Jesus Christ. God also desires that they see the uniqueness of each person who is tied into this cornerstone.

Like Siamese twins, we are joined together that world might see Jesus.
