Recently I have been taking a number of classes at night down at church. The classes are actually in the school, and at one end of the parking lot there is a really nice raised garden with grass and boulders, on top of which are three crosses. It is a striking sight. I have known that it is there for a long time, but I never got around to looking at it closely. The most recent classes are three hours long, and fortunately we have a break every hour. So I went out at dusk for a walk, and went over to where the crosses are, and discovered that they make a stunning sight against the sky and lit by a giant mercury vapor lamp.
For Christians everywhere, three crosses set together like this evoke such a strong emotional response. It's a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made for us and always leaves me humbled. I pray every day that I'm worthy of this sacrifice and that my time here is spent doing good for others. Thanks for posting.
