Have you ever traveled on...

Have you ever traveled on a highway and suddenly, out of nowhere, three crosses appear? I first saw this about 20 years ago as I was driving through West Virginia on my way to Florida. When I first saw the three crosses, I wondered why they were there and who had put them there. In time, I learned that the crosses were being placed throughout the country by a retired businessman who had experienced an answer to prayer, and out of gratitude he had adopted the project of erecting crosses throughout America. The cross is a symbol -- it is a symbol of the Christian faith. And what is the message that is being communicated by the Christian symbol of the cross? First, when I look at the cross, I am reminded that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died on the cross, and that through his death we have life. Second, when I look at the cross, I see my cross, as Jesus calls upon each one of us to pick up our cross and follow him. The cross is a powerful symbol. What do you see when you look at the cross? -- Frank
