The temple foyer is a grand entrance with a soaring ceiling painted with the richest cobalt blue and ruby red paints in the entire land. Gold statues welcome the weary traveler with gods depicted in various states of repose. There are windows near the soaring ceilings that let in afternoon light from the east and the west and the floor is inlaid with the finest marble in all the land. A calm water fountain trickles peacefully in the center of the foyer.

the weary traveler
I have been traveling for weeks. I am very tired, but I am almost at my destination. Soon my pilgrimage will be done.
I am so tired good sir, but I am sooo close to my destination. Where are you trying to get to? I am going to the holy land.  That is why I stopped here, I knew you would understand my journey and aid me. Well what is it I can do for you then if you do not want to rest? I need food and water and prayer for strength. All of those things we can provide you with, would you care to sit? Yes please.  I have been on my quest for one year, I have come from a land far away.  Thank you for your hospitality. A follower of the lord is always welcome. I love the church because every member is home anywhere another believer is.  I have my tool here and I am willing to work for any provision I take. Do not worry about the labor good one, the lord provides. Especially for one such as yourself. Have you made the prilgrimage yourself? The good lord provides.
