Gratitude 09 - Cross

Today I am grateful for the cross of Jesus. I was at a conference about racial/ethnic ministry today and as I was walking in, I saw the shadow of the entry steeple,falling on the church building. It spoke to me of how we are called to not only lift high the cross and proclaim its message of forgiveness and new life but to also be sure that it falls upon us and transforms us as we pray it transforms others and the world.
