Groom is unbelievable!

We got up early and drove back into Amarillo to pick up old Route 66.  We drove down Amarillo Blvd and it was as if we traveled back through time.  On the east side of town the was one old hotel after another, some of them still in use.  We did not stop but left Amarillo in our rearview mirror and headed for the little town of Groom.  A few years ago few people had heard of Groom, but someone wanted to ale a statement and now Groom is known worldwide. The story I heard is that there used to be an adult bookstore in Groom.  One family did not like that Groom was only known to outsiders for the bookstore so they decided to do something about it.  Across the highway they built a cross to help peoe think of Groom in a positive light.  But they did not just build an average sized cross.  They built the largest free-standing cross in the U.S.A.  It is 190 feet tall and can be seen 10 miles away.

All this happened because one family decided to take a stand for Jesus instead of being silent.  I wonder what we could do for Jesus instead of staying silent?
