Cross Stump

 This beautiful creation is in the yard of one of my friends.  As you can see, this once was a stump that had a rotten center.   I'm speculating that after the tree was cut down, the rot was cleaned out, leaving only the healthy exterior.  Four chunks were cut away, thus forming 2 crosses connected at the arms.
 
If I may, I would like to go deep with this post.  I feel like this stump is a unique symbol of Faith.  Sin eats away at our lives, causing deterioration and decay.  But if we hold fast Jesus, our faith will always remain and hold steadfast.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new CREATION.  The old has PASSED AWAY, behold, the NEW has come."
2 Corinthians 5:17
