Amen, Nikko! Thanks for your thoughts on that.

I wonder what everyone thinks about wearing a cross around the neck as a symbol of Christianity.

I used to wear one. I've seen many types, some downright sparkly and artistic. They are pretty, the real cross though.... different story. It's an instrument of certain death.

My understanding was the crucifixion was the most cruel type of death at the time. Not to mention humiliating. One never sees guillotine, electric chair or firearm pendants.

I just think it's a curious thing and wonder what if anyone else has ever pondered it.

Not only did He die, but He died a painful, cruel death. For that I am ETERNALLY grateful, and humbled.

I know you guys have had a lot of rain up there. Just wondered if you are having any summer to speak of.

Heh, you don't know what hot is.... Heat index here (in Florida) was 104 a few days ago.
