Stand...Let's Start a Movement!

In Pensacola, the city I live in a group  named The American Humanist Association filed a lawsuit to have a cross that has stood for 48 years in a park in the area named "Bayview Park" removed. US District Court Judge Robert Vinson ruled that the cross violated the constitution. Mayor Hayward of the city of Pensacola decided to take a stand...he decided to fight to keep the cross. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty will be representing the city of Pensacola free of charge in this matter. The whole ordeal stirred something within me. I remembered a time where me and those around me were always talking about Jesus. A time that we were concerned with bringing others into the fold (telling people about Jesus). What happened?...Life. But no matter what is going on around us we must not lose focus on the things that mean the most. Souls are priceless. I knew about the group trying to get the cross taken down. I talked about it to a friend and I didn't think about it again until a preacher on t.v. mentioned it. He had said it had been taken down. I talked about it to my friend and I felt convicted because although I knew about it...I did nothing. "What can we do?" I asked more to myself than her. We talked and talked, then we started talking about a trend in the area which is painting a painting on a rock and leaving it various places for people to find them. We said we could paint crosses...then we said we can actually leave crosses...we can leave crosses and place bibles in ziploc bags everywhere. Will you join us? This morning I drove to Bayview Park and to my delight the cross was still standing. I placed my first cross at its foot.
