Well, I found another letter I had written to the editor of our local paper. I have to write, whether anyone reads it or not. This letter is in response to a wonderful young man who lives in our community. He built a large cross and mounted it on one of the foothills south of town. He hauled a generator up there and each Easter and Christmas it is lighted for all to see. This appeared on our opinion page on December 24, 2003.
At this place in time when Christianity is in such disfavor, when "under God" is being restricted from the Pledge of Allegiance, when the Ten Commandments are not allowed in a courthouse which enforces the laws inspired by this same Ten Commandments, a time I never thought I would see in this United States of America, I would like to to thank the people, organizations, and communities that have lighted crosses for all to see and reflect upon.
Thank you, Don Larson of Cashmere, Christians in Action of Okanogan and Omak, Randy Smith of wenatchee, Dryden Community Church and LOnnie and Judy Wagoner of Peshastin. And thank you, Wenatchee world for telling us of these people, organizations, and communities.
I am proud to live in an area that still shows respect of God and community. Thank you, all of you.
