There’s a tall Cross on a hill along I-40, near Cookeville, TN. Best seen when you’re eastbound, and a comfort to the soul.
ACLU protests its presence since it is visible from a federally funded roadway.
What comforts my soul is not a huge cross but an infinite Savior who died on a cross.
That tells me not “my church or religion is in charge” but “my Savior is in charge.”
Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis has three giant crosses right next to I-40. I believe the center cross is 150 feet high. The lights were turned on for the first time on December 31, 1999, at midnight. Reportedly some truckers got quite a shock.
