Last Tuesday I got a little Christmas spirit and I put my cross up. Thursday, my neighbor told me that his daughter asked him what the decoration in my yard was. Teenagers walking past my house laughed and asked me if I could afford some real lights. What in the world . . . . We bought our house 32 years ago and the first decoration was that cross that I made out of scrap boards leftover from the house. I did put up more of the decorations that our daughter has grown up with . . . I am disappointed that it has lost it's meaning for a whole lot more people than those of us who choose to stay the course . . .make you a cross today and celebrate . . . . Merry Christmas . . .
